"woke" has lost all meaning nowadays. The original meaning was "to be aware of societal inequities", but the hijacking from the right has turned it into a slur that basically means "anything I don't like or am afraid of."
The analogy is not quite right. Meta are not analogous to drug dealers. They are analogous to drug designers who tweak the formula to make it as addictive as possible, ignoring any harms.
And yes, a cause is human weakness, but the cause is the deliberate, widespread exploitation of that weakness in ways that are very harmful to both individuals and to society.
I want to see Meta destroyed.
US-based IT companies are a danger to everyone outside the USA.
Graag gedaan!
Looks like there now is an effective mandate to keep DigiD under Dutch control, even if it's not explicitly spelled out in law.

People realizing they need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels is probably the only good thing to come out of the Trump regime's Iran sh*t-show.

Canadian too, and I agree with it. Supporting Canadian talent is worthwhile.
Though... I don't subscribe to any streaming services...
There's no First Amendment in Canada.
It will be painful, but not doing anything is worse than starting to do something.
Amsterdam in the 1960s and 1970s was a car-dependent hell-hole. After enough kids were killed by cars, the citizens revolted and the politicians embarked on a plan to fix the city. It took a couple of decades, but it worked.
As for getting around now, you have to use cars, I guess, but as things improve, you'll have more and more options.
