#restricting
Tell your MP #Online #Safety Act is a disaster
Rather than protect children, adults are facing widespread #censorship & teens have their freedom of expression restricted
Key problems
- Censorship
- Handing data to #unregulated age providers
- #Restricting #freedom of #expression
- Pushing young people to unregulated spaces
Govt's response: saying they are on side of predators. Totally unacceptable
#Labour treats concerns with #disdain

Revealed: #Shell #Oil non-profit donated to anti-climate groups behind #Project2025
Foundation says it ‘does not endorse any organizations’
-- while funneling hundreds of thousands to rightwing causes
A US foundation associated with the oil company Shell has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to #religious #right and #conservative organizations,
many of which #deny that #climate #change is a crisis, tax records reveal.
Fourteen of those groups are on the advisory board of Project 2025,
a conservative blueprint proposing radical changes to the federal government,
including ♦️severely limiting the Environment Protection Agency.♦️
"Shell USA Company Foundation" sent $544,010 between 2013 and 2022 to organizations that broadly share an agenda of building conservative power,
including advocating #against #LGBTQ+ rights, #restricting access to #abortions, creating school lesson plans that #downplay #climate #change and drafting a suite of policies aimed at overhauling the federal government.
Donees include the "Heartland Institute"
a longtime purveyor of climate #disinformation, which published a video on YouTube in May stating incorrectly that
“the scientific data continue to show there is no climate crisis”.
Other groups that have received donations include the "American Family Association", which claims that the “climate change agenda is an attack on God’s creation”,
as well as the "Heritage Foundation",
the lead organization behind Project 2025.
“Shell has every reason to want to maintain close relationships with organizations that wield outsize political influence -- and just happen to reliably support the interests of the fossil fuel industry,”
said Adrian Bardon, a professor of philosophy at Wake Forest University who has studied the religious right and climate denialism.
The Shell USA Company Foundation helps employees boost their charitable giving to non-profits.
A Shell USA spokesperson wrote via email that the company’s workers make the initial decision to donate “to non-profit (tax exempt) organizations of their choice”.
According to the company’s online donation portal, Shell will match individual donations up to $7,500.

Of course #meta is now #restricting politics unless you opt out of the cuts.
Meta — the parent company of #Facebook, #instagram and #Threads — is making good on its promise to tamp #down the amount of #political posts that users see on their #feeds.
#meta said in early February that Instagram and Threads would stop recommending #politicalcontent from accounts that users don't already follow. It said it would roll out the changes "slowly over time," though did not specify when.
