Everyone should be boycotting brands as a way of supporting Palestine. It's hugely effective!
Start with Coca Cola, Amazon, Disney, Barclays.
If we have to live in a capitalist society which doesn't respect human rights, we can fight back by not letting them use our money.

Something about flying over a currently-happening genocide that my own country and others refuse to do anything about, even as it is happening clear as day, visible from the passenger jets flying us around as if life is still normal.

Screenshot of a BBC Politics tweet shows Chancellor Rachel Reeves speaking at a podium during a live broadcast of her speech. The quote at the top reads, โWe are reducing the environmental requirements placed on developers when they pay into a nature restoration fundโฆ they can focus on getting things built and stop worrying about the bats and the newts,โ as she addresses the audience. In the background, there are large screens displaying the live stream of the speech, with a banner at the bottom reading โKickstarting Economic Growth.โ
Stop worrying about bats and newts? No Rachel Reeves MP โ start worrying about the future of our economy if we tear down the nature it depends on.
Nature isnโt a blocker; itโs the foundation of growth.

You know itโs a cool research method when the BBC asks to replicate it.
I used social media ad repositories to find that 93% of ads failed to disclose loot box presence: doi.org/10.1016/j.cl....
@twgerken.bsky.social of BBC News found 90.9% of games failed to comply: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article....
