New research from Reset Tech and Deakin University shows that Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and Pinterest mostly failed to action against reported content promoting eating disorders, thereby contravening their own terms of service. www.reset.tech/resources/co...

One of my most special moments in politics was to meet and discuss with former Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso. I think of him and the people of Brazil as they prepare to fight off the US-backed far-right challenge to Brazilian democracy. First round next weekend. Stay strong! 🇧🇷

Lovely nugget from the @financialtimes.com report on Liechtenstein’s royal squabbles. Bring on the European Convention on Princely Rights!

Looking for solar eclipse glasses on Amazon, I came across this “endorsement” from former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau for made-in-China glasses that are listed as a Amazon beststeller. Something tells me Trudeau did not actually endorse these glasses, which also claim to be CE and ISO-compliant.

The Big Tech business model in action. Polarisation means clicks, clicks mean ad revenue, ad revenue means the broligarchs getting richer and richer. Society pays the price. (Article: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...)

1 June 2026. My first fully Meta-free day. 🎉 Yesterday I quit Whatsapp, having left Facebook several years ago. Heartened by several groups I was in immediately deciding to follow suit. Come join the exodus! It’s time to take back control from the broligarchs. (Image credit: The Australian)

The Dutch Labour-Greens alliance, soon to be new merged party PRO (Progressive Netherlands), has left X due its toxic environment, according to a newspaper report today (Volkskrant). Its account is now “inactive” according to its X profile. 👏🏻

The Dutch Greens / Labour alliance (GroenLinks-PvdA) has announced the name of the new party that will result from its upcoming full merger: Progressive Netherlands, or PRO for short. Parties at EU level should follow - the green and social democratic left has much more in common than divides it. ❤️💚
