Holy cow. Is it time to start holding engineers implementing crap like that accountable? This is obviously dodgy and anyone being asked to implement it should have the guts to just say no Also, might be time to actually delete all fb crapware from my phone www.zeropartydata.es/p/localhost-...

Labour today joins a long list of consecutive governments that decided they need to pander to the most extreme rightwing elements of our country, failing to remember that apart from being cruel, the pandering never worked for the previous governments and it won't work for them.

Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on catchup. So angry at the continuing state of our politics. I hope a sequel to How they broke Britain is in the works

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention.

Incredibly helpful
