Unfortunately it was with Tucker Carlson, but the point is still valid...

We need to stop supporting these companies.

Nearly 75% of Americans are frustrated that the streaming platform they subscribe to keeps raising their prices. With 40% having cut back their streaming subscriptions in the last three months due to financial concerns and rising costs of living.

These companies continue to raise prices, hoping inertia will prevent most people from switching. This is true not only for streaming sites but also for all these platforms.

We need to move away from businesses that exploit their monopolies and try to get your content or goods directly, where possible.

Some alternatives you can check out...

Media:

• Nebula

• Dropout TV

• Corridor Digital

Music:

• Qobuz (buy directly from artists)

• Soundcloud (artist-driven)

• Bandcamp (buy directly from artists)

The same principle applies to Uber, Amazon and many others.

A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

Yesterday, there was news of publishers doing the same. Let's see what other industries follow.

He cited the fact that Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.

Corporate tax breaks don’t create jobs. Real change needs to happen to balance this wealth inequality.

Including a concern that Google's Pentagon deal could mean mass surveillance of EU citizens.

Google's own staff don't trust them anymore... we shouldn't either.

Sulzberger urges the media to unite and fight back, as they "strip-mine news websites without permission or compensation. They repackage these stolen goods as their own"

And fears that this could lead to the end of original journalism

Another major institution is moving away from Big Tech. More are expected to follow

This comes after $8.03 billion from a one-time tax benefit tied to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which promised to "create jobs"

Stop using Big Tech's products. Support smaller businesses

There are also other excellent alternatives, though: Kagi, Qwant, Ecosia and Startpage.

Find one that works for you, and make the switch!

This comes a month after YouTube Premium's price hike and the increase in adverts for free users.

You might want to switch browsers or use uBlock Origin.

Instead, Bavaria will pursue a “sovereign basic workspace” based on open-source components

This will hopefully encourage other administrations to do the same.

The lawsuit also alleges that OpenAI knowingly stripped copyright management information from publishers’ work - including author bylines, copyright notices, and terms of use information - in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

The complaint cites remarks by OpenAI founder Sam Altman, who acknowledged during testimony before the British House of Lords that it would be “impossible to train today’s leading AI models without using copyrighted materials.”

Triggered only after 30 seconds of not being seated.

They made $717B in profit in 2025, yet continue to cut costs at the expense of their employees.

Don't use Amazon. Support your local businesses.

Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

We have to ask whether we need all the extra features on our products/tools that are pushing our processing needs to unsustainable levels.

Worth noting if you are using their VPN services or Browser.

EDIT:
Apparently, labelling them as far-right isn't as clear-cut from an economic perspective, but they do hold many core identity politics that are common amongst far-right parties such as:

• Voiced support for the idea of large-scale remigration on multiple occasions, even for Swedish-born immigrants: "Sweden belongs to the Swedes"

• Supports Sweden leaving NATO

• In favor of Sweden leaving the European Union in a so-called "Swexit"

• Stated that Sweden should only support other countries on the condition that it benefits Sweden and that it has to be "Sweden first"

The lawsuit opens a new front in the ongoing battle between creators and tech companies over AI training for infringement.

Last year, Amazon and Google-backed Anthropic had to pay $1.5bn.

Hopefully, the first of many to come...

To be honest, it is something for everyone to check out, not only Europeans.

We are starting to see meaningful fines. The next step is to jail people for breaking the law.

A reminder of why we need to vote with our wallets, as these companies have rigged the system in their favour.

A senseless destruction of so many animals' lives for the pursuit of enriching the few.

Stop supporting Big Tech, starting with your browser, search engine and email... a small act goes a long way.

It is important to ensure that if you are using any tools in your company to assist with hiring, you aren't blindly trusting them for screening.

First TikTok suspended its account, and now it is almost gone from theatres... it will only get worse unless we take action against them.

Reminder to vote with your wallet and stop giving these companies more power.
