I hope a phone call matters I hope speaking up matters. But to me unless the phone call comes with money I’m not sure how much these representatives cares.
Not saying it’s better to do and say nothing. I just wonder if these greedy pricks really are listening. And yes they are almost all greedy pricks…
they are not. we usually make these things happen by pressuring them directly in other more tangible ways.
no easy answer to this one, i'm afraid. the modern surveillance stuff is unprecedented, so we will have to figure out what that is.
I don't think that on its own is enough, but it's one of the many things that helps put pressure on them, as long as there's a broader strategy it can work
At the very least you can have your conscience eased that you didn't simply let the country go to shit and fought back in some capacity.
They are listening to whoever holds the money.
I used to use Faecesbook on and off (mostly off) for a few discussion groups, with a fake name. Since my country passed an act requiring ID to use social media, I deleted that shit. No fucking way am I giving my ID to a private company I can do without.
I sent an email a few weeks ago, hopefully they're at least noticing that people are aware of these laws as a potential problem.
