Open Rights GroupMeta opt-outIn March 2025, there was a huge victory for your data rights! Meta settled a four year court case with human rights campaigner Tanya O’Carroll. She had taken legal action to force the social media giant to stop collecting and processing her personal data for advertising purposes. Meta have agreed to stop profiling Tanya – and now it’s your turn to say no to stalker ads! If you use any Meta products – Facebook, Instagram, Meta Quest or VR, Threads or WhatsApp – you can use our tool to request that they no longer collect or process your data for advertising.

Re the debate: "Should the U.S. federal government make reducing the national debt a fiscal priority?"

Today's fed "debt" is entirely different from household debt. Fed "debt" isn't borrowed, so isn't repayable.

The US tried paying down the so-called"debt" seven times in its entire history.

The first 6 times resulted in a depression (first image)

The seventh time (Clinton) resulted in a recession (2nd image)

What we've been taught about economics is backwards | read Warren Mosler's book & my head exploded. He said the complete opposite of what I'd been taught in economics. Warren said the federal government has to spend first, before any of us can have the funds to pay taxes or buy government bonds. | had always been taught that the feds first collect tax or govt bonds, & then they can spend. Warren said "That's backwards”. Take the board game, Monopoly. You can't start the game until you first distribute funds to the players. Warren's point is that the federal government is the monopoly issuer of the currency. It has to contribute to us before we can operate with those funds. And | thought, "Well, this must be wrong. | don't know why it's wrong, but I'm going to find out why it's wrong". So | started doing research into the Treasury, the Fed, etc. That's how | convinced myself that Warren was right. | went through it all & figured out that there was actually no other way for it to work.

Allison Pearson using the pushing back of Trans Rights to start talking about 'White Rights' in the NHS now....

Brits keep looking at America and thinking it could never happen here and just because it's not 'guns and bibles' doesn't mean the same playbook is not being used.

The British Empire knows your mind and body better than you, and both don't belong to you..
