Source: browsergate.eu (Fairlinked e.V. investigation, March 2026) The scan list growth: 2017: 38 extensions. 2024: 461. May 2025: 1,000. December 2025: 5,459. As of March 2026: 6,222. What they scan for: 509 job search tools. 1.4 million combined users. 209 sales competitor tools. Apollo (600K users), Lusha (300K), ZoomInfo (300K). 762 LinkedIn-specific third-party tools the EU's Digital Markets Act requires them to allow. Religious extensions: PordaAI (5K users), Deen Shield. Political extensions: "Anti-woke," "Anti-Zionist Tag," "No more Musk" (19 users), "Political Circus" (7 users). Disability extensions: "simplify" for neurodivergent users (79 users). How they detect you: three-stage fallback. First they message your extensions directly. If you block that, they probe for known extension files. If you block that, they monitor the page for changes characteristic of extensions that inject elements into LinkedIn's interface. The tracking payload is called AedEvent. The pixel is loaded from HUMAN Security (formerly PerimeterX), an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. Zero pixels wide. Positioned off-screen. LinkedIn's internal API "Voyager" handles 163,000 calls/sec. The restricted APIs the EU ordered them to publish handle 0.07 calls/sec. Microsoft's 249-page compliance report uses the word "API" 533 times. "Voyager" appears zero. GDPR Article 9 prohibits processing data revealing religious beliefs, political opinions, or health conditions without explicit consent. LinkedIn processes all three. Without consent. Without disclosure. browsergate.eu

This year, Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill gave: Google an $18 billion tax break. Amazon a $16 billion tax break. Microsoft a $12 billion tax break. Facebook an $11 billion tax break. Now, they’re writing checks to Trump for his $300 million ballroom. Gee, I wonder why?

“We paid for Angela Rayner’s education” this is what posh people think of you btw state-educated folks. Like they literally think less of you, no matter how long ago school was.
We paid for Angela Rayner’s education. We paid her wages when she worked for the local council. We paid her wages when she became an MP. We even paid the settlement that enabled her to buy a house. Tax payers have funded every aspect of her entire life.

Jesus christ. I think I need to turn to alcohol or drugs or therapy or SOMETHING. I had seen the AMOC overturning warnings, but I had not seen this graph. I though somehow mostly the North Atlantic and Europe would be affected, but no, it's global boiling. en.vedur.is/media/ads_in_hea…

A far greater proportion of private than state school pupils get extra time in exams… which is even odder when you consider the wider context this is happening within: we know special educational needs are more prevalent in poorer areas ft.com/content/5f96ea18-496c…

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

RT @stealthygeek: "I'm voting for fascism because my apartheid mom is still afraid of black people" sure is a take.

I suppose I should also thank all the racists & other weirdos who shitpost about me obsessively on here, helpfully advertising the antidote I offer every day to the lies & poison they spew. So... большое спасибо!

I see people saying “why should we give free lunches to schoolchildren?” and I think some folks truly have no idea what it’s like to grow up in poverty, never knowing where your next meal is coming from, forever being one paycheck away from eviction. Let me explain some things.
