Some of the world’s largest companies have been accused of undermining democracy across the world by financially backing far-right political movements, funding and exacerbating the climate crisis, and violating trade union rights and human rights in a report published on Monday by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
Amazon, Tesla, Meta, ExxonMobil, Blackstone, Vanguard and Glencore are the corporations included in the report. The companies’ lobbying arms are attempting to shape global policy at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on 22 and 23 September.
No shit. But I guess this is good for those that are missing the obvious to read.
More like: big money and corporate lobbying is ruining democracy. These are just the big boys.
Deeply confused, because these are all American companies and America is supposed to be the freest, bestest, most democratic country in the world.
well it kind of is, for large companies
I know you’re being ironic but it makes only sense they’re American. If they weren’t, some US court would’ve torpedoed them to bits with lawsuits and tarifs like they always do. They love that stupid foreign money but don’t hurt their own American darlings for doing the same harm to everyone.
Facebook definitely is.
My post on the weekend telling people where I was travelling to ensure if I disappeared they’d know where to find me for deleted for cybersecurity reasons
Yet, I regularly report abuse, bullying, porn, etc and the AI moderation never sees any issues
And every single post there now is:
Lol 😂 Newline newline new line
Repost repost…I am an obvious bot. Often I am a stupid car meme mocking EVs and solar, etc
