+1, I also stopped shopping from any market that forces self-checkouts. I waste more time, I scan my own stuff, and for what exactly? So the company can earn more money by kicking out their employees? Why the fuck don't we even get a discount for "working briefly" in their market? Nothing these companies pull off ever benefits the society.
Offering the option is one thing, forcing it down your throat is another.
Man, I miss the good old days when we had some communities and places where we could meet up with people from our neighborhood or whatever. Everything in the world became so much poisonous, most individuals are brain washed and all they care about is "self". Hell, they even commercialized meeting up with that meetup website.
I literally sat down and thought about this very same topic today: What are we supposed to do when we're not at work or commuting? Try to form a band? Everybody wants to play a very specific "self" music. Join in a hobby class? No thanks capitalism. Volunteer? I don't even feel like my time is appreciated there anymore, like on purpose I'm being felt into thinking "you're doing a free labour for us!!!"
I really miss the times when we could simply meetup and talk about whatever. People had a lot more empathy, and there was a social code that would punish you if you're being selfish and rude, now it feels the opposite.
Bandcamp hides their support email addresses inside of terms and uses policy. There isn't a single contact method displayed on any of their index pages. If you confront them with this, they do not acknowledge it, by simply not responding to your legal question.
In my personal experience, my account was hijacked, so I tried to contact them to unlink my associated Gmail and PayPal accounts, no reply whatsoever.
If you send a legal notice to Patreon's legal department, it returns this channel is not monitored error, and in the very same email, they claim they have no responsibility to address legal concerns sent to them through this channel.
No company or state organs are legally allowed to limit communication methods to a single method. In addition to that, if you lose access to your email address, even with the correct credentials, Patreon sends a verification code to the very same email address, to which you have no access to. Instead of deploying ownership authentication methods such as cross referencing government issued IDs with the data in their system and the payout methods you provided (In my case it was PayPal), they claim there's no 2FA activated on your account, and they give you bullshit solutions like change your browser and stuff. All of these are illegal, directly violating consumer protection laws. Also, they hide their support personnel names and titles to avoid individual liabilities. I can keep going.
Using regulatory bodies to fine these companies is exactly what I meant in my previous comment if it was not clear. I was able to get some positive results on the way, through the FTC, CFPB, and DFPI just to name a few, and discovered many others who blatantly break the law, including government/political organs such as the European Parliament's ASK EP unit, and the European Banking Authority, SOLVIT not reading complaints properly, etc. If there is a demand, I can make a huge list of regulatory bodies, how to contact them, how to write your complaint legally by citing the law so your complaints are actually taken seriously, and so on. These methods are all free to do and take 10 minutes to fill out per body.
I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but my issue with comments like yours is stating, 'Yeah, we should do something, take the regulatory way!' but it only stays in theory. It never explains the practical steps a user can take. My direct question for you would be: What is a practical step that anyone, or at least most of us, can do as of now?
Most people are screaming into the void. There are countless complaints about PayPal freezing people's accounts without any legal justification, and Google locking people out of their accounts due to 2FA. These are all illegal. For instance, if you are in the EU, you can file a complaint against PayPal through the Central Bank of Ireland, since that's where they hold their license, and with enough volume, you can get their license revoked.
The FTC and consumer protection laws explicitly state that you cannot force a user to prove ownership of their account using only one method. Yet, Google does it. If you lose access to your Patreon account, they ask you weird questions like, 'When was the last time you withdrew your Patreon funds to your PayPal?' Who the heck takes a note of that? If you lose access to your Outlook, Microsoft sends you a form asking for the exact IP address you used to connect to your account.
These are all administrative, illegal barriers. You could be mute, you could be deaf, you are legally not obligated to buy a phone and a SIM card, or maybe you just don't want to talk on the phone, or you have social anxiety. There are solutions out there, and I have gotten results through regulatory complaints many times. Some took a short time, some are still in progress, and I am well aware that for some, I will need to take their asses to court.
Regardless, we need unification, because as I said before, take Irish law for example: if you make a confidential complaint, and unfortunately, filing a complaint against PayPal through Irish regulatory channels falls under this category (I won't dive into the technical details), they can literally say to your face, 'We got your complaint, but cannot share anything further with you.' How is a citizen supposed to know that they actually took action?
The European Parliament is blatantly breaking their own transparency laws. For example, during formal correspondences, their personnel never give out their name to avoid individual liability. I made a post about this today. You can start a petition against this directly inside the EP (This can be done online too! For free!), and take this matter to the ECJ (this one is a bit tricky, because you need a literal lawyer for this). You wrote to Amnesty, who claims to defend human rights, and didn't get a response from them? There are government bodies investigating this shit, but the information is not easily accessible. At best, it is written in such a way that it is very easy to get confused about how to file the complaint. If government is not making it easy for us to access these info, we MUST make it easy for others depending on our knowledge, so everyone knows they have places to go and file complaints and their voices to be heard. Practical steps.
Complaining anywhere, be it on Lemmy or another social media platform, will not change anything. At least not with 200 people. People need to get their asses off the couch and start filing legal complaints, and protest if necessary; flood social media one by one against whoever is breaking the law, EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMN THEY until we get the results, so that big tech cannot even censor this shit even if they wanted to. The issue always relies on people being unhappy but not taking action, even if it means filling out a simple form.
I do understand that we are constantly pumped with, 'Ah, nothing is gonna change even if I complain.' The thing is, yeah, it will not if we scream into the void. We gotta complain legally by directly citing the law, which I can help with and create guidelines for, since all of these companies break very specific laws every single time. For example, Epic Games, Bandcamp support, Patreon, Ubisoft, any gamer knows about these companies, and these are all breaking transparency laws by not sharing personnel names with you, the moment you contact their support channels. They also force you to use webforms, so they can get rid of that paper trail, if you decide to file a complaint against them later, just to name a few.
If there is a demand, I wouldn't mind sitting down all day and creating a detailed guide on which regulatory body you can go to, how to file your complaint, and how to do it. What would you suggest doing practically, for example? Any ideas are welcome, we can always iterate, and someone else can come up with something better, but we do need to start taking action at this point.
We gotta start taking these actions in volume, not just a few people.
A bit of background story on how I got involved in all of this, if you are wondering: I was living in Mannheim, Germany previously, and was kidnapped and assaulted by the Polizeirevier Neckarstadt-Mannheim police department, who literally dumped me onto the street after the kidnapping with nothing. No IDs, no glasses, no shoes, no underwear, no keys, nothing. I got my official assault report, literally stating everything I say here is correct; medical personnel called the police station, confirmed I was there, and put it on the official assault report that I was indeed dumped onto the street without my glasses or shoes.
When I was in the cell, these police officers forced me to sign a paper, which I did not, and they threatened me that they would come to my home again, which they did. I recorded where they could not show any IDs, could not state any legal grounds for why they were in my bedroom, and so on. You know what happened when I tried to take this matter to court? NOTHING. German judges did not even start the court case. These same police officers stole my phone on the first day where I recorded all of their hate crimes, which I proved with GPS logs and direct satellite recordings, but nothing has happened. These things happened on June 26 and 27, 2026. No investigation, no nothing.
I am coming from a military background, so I know my rights and I knew what to do in a stressful situation like this. But what about other immigrants? When you share these stories, people look at you like you're an alien, or when you complain about how PayPal isn't giving you your own money, they immediately switch to, 'Forget about that money, you'll never get it back,' which honestly disappoints me, seeing how easily people can be tricked by the government.
There is so much we can do. There are many people here from so many different fields and areas of expertise; we could really ignite something that could lead to something big. Nobody needs to go through what I went through, and I bet you also went through some shitty situations where you knew you were wronged, but the system left you alone, or wasn't there as much as it actually could be. I don't want anyone to feel this way.
I see your point and would like to add, the issue is, some people are like bricks. Like, you could get a more logical reaction(!) from a brick than these people. You could literally paint something in front of them, and they'd still claim it's not your own work. Like, there's no way of proving your innocence/righteousness, no matter what evidence you put in front of them. I can not wrap my head how we can communicate with these people.
I wish you were not right, but you are. They'd even go further and say I'm an environmentalist, I'd do anything to protect the world that belongs to all of us. Fucking hypocrites.
Another reminder for the ones who don't know, since BBC doesn't like exposing their own government either, the UK is no different than the states. Go read how asylum seekers are treated, mocked, dehumanized in the UK. I'm talking about people who were fucking raped in their own country, escaped their homeland due to death threats, some even got fucking shot literally. What does the UK do? Trying to force these people sign papers that they wouldn't understand, to send them back their home country.
Yeah, let's not fucking ever forget that, primarily Trump, and the criminals under his command protecting him are fucking pedophiles. Since the exposure of their crimes, only one fucking person was judged. One. Main stream media as always is doing amazing job covering it up.
I say I will give everyone, not only the Americans, but every single citizen of earth, 100,000 dollars if I'm elected for the presidency by not joining the election.
And there will be flying bicycles, not cars, but bicycles by 2029.
Sounds so stupid, doesn't it? You wouldn't make this news, because I'm a regular ass citizen. Why do we keep hearing about all these stupid ass thoughts/propaganda bullshit left and right from every god damn field? This is BBC lol not your local news channels. My local news channel make better news. Hell, at least they can call something stupid, if it's stupid.
Do you guys remember EU Parliament came up with that stupid ass I give my consent to cookie policy yes/no policy? Most European Parliament bodies did not even implement that themselves lol if I'm not mistaken, Human rights commission website has no reject cookies button at all, and if you do not click on accept button, you can not even display the contact anchor hid behind the cookie consent banner :D
I have zero faith in any government doing anything good for their regular citizens. FTC 5 explicitly states any company or government agency MUST provide the personnel name if you're contacting a place. Go contact Ubisoft, steam, Patreon, epic games, European banking authority, askep, Ireland bank and so on. They're all breaking the consumer protection laws blatantly, completely disregarding transparency policies. Why the fuck would anyone follow these rules if law makers do not even follow the very same law they came up with :D
Can we get rid of all the boomers from all governments in the world already? I wanna see a world where we're fucking "represented" by our regular ass peers?
Then they'll claim that video of you doing the work is also generated via AI. There's no way of convincing your regular joe once they made their mind up.
+1. I was releasing free fucking music for indie devs who didn't have budget or limited budget for this kinda stuff, some mf on reddit who was selling his music saw this, contacted admins to claim it was made via AI, then they took the post down without doing any investigation or even contacting me. Labeled as made with AI. I've worked in the industry for over 10 years, there's literally 0 reason for me to use AI to make music lol From that point onward I just pulled out all of my free libraries from public, if it's that easy to mislabel somebody's hard work, and only give the download codes for free for people who did contact me personally and that I was sure they were actually building something.
Wait until for them to close your account with the pretext of "your account has violated our community guidelines", no legal justification whatsoever if some people decide to spam that report button lol stop using these bullshit platforms that see you as nothing but a number. Hell, you might be earning your life through Instagram or YouTube, and all it takes for them to delete your years of content is pressing one button.
I think it's time to start discussing what steps we can take from this point onward. People are, including myself are tired of being treated like a fucking worm in this system and all I see is unify, let's unify, it's time that we unify... What are the steps we can actually take? I wrote in another topic I can teach people how to go after PayPal and other big tech hypocrites through regulatory bodies that I got positive results from. Let's discuss what we can do destroy the public image of these two faced criminals. They can always earn more money, but you can't buy public image with your money, remember guys.
They can brand him as whatever they like, as long as we do not unify and start taking action, these criminals will stay in charge. Is he charged with ANY of the crimes he committed? Hell no. How come a known criminal is still in the office? We all know how it is. Governments are, no exception to any government are just elite hypocrites. WE DO NEED TO UNIFY FOR OUR VOICES TO BE HEARD. What happened to the Epstein files? We must talk about these stuff everywhere every second to the point no matter how hard they cooperate with big tech to censor us, they won't be able to. The only way to do that is to unify. Period. Do contact me or leave a comment if you are tired of seeing similar news every single day with no repercussions. We gotta do something.
Open letter to everyone here, who's tired of these corporate bullshits and wanna take action: Let's start discussing the solid/concrete steps that we can start taking rather than screaming into the void:
I was personally going after big corporations (To name a few: PayPal, Patreon, Microsoft, Google, anything that Epic Games own, Bandcamp, Artstation, etc.), any state organs who do receive my complaints but hide behind institutional shields, deploying administrative silence, concealing their full name and title during official correspondence and I did and am still getting results through judicial/consumer protection law oriented bodies such as CFPB, DFPI, Federal Trade Commission, and even going after some German judges who refused to initiate a court case when they're informed that the criminals were German police officers. Doesn't matter if it's a company or a judge, you do can go after them. It all boils down to whether you wanna take action or just complain about it online. The latter as we all know doesn't fruit to anything.
I can create a detailed guideline on how to go after these motherfuckers legally for free, which laws they're blatantly breaking, how to contact these regulatory bodies, what to cite in your legal complaints and so on. We can even start a god damn funding pool to take these motherfuckers to court.
I'm open to hear anyone's opinion on what else we can do, what steps we can take. If I can get results, imagine the fuss we can create with an unified voice.
I'll give you one even better, my phone was stolen in Mannheim by the German police (yeap, the police, I'll even give you the station name: Polizeirevier-Neckarstadt-Mannheim), we ofc contacted every single God damn company on earth to unlink our associated Gmail accounts (since 2fa locks you out and google has zero human monitored channels to contact them in addition to deploying catch-22) openai's response was we should contact a medical personnel to arrange a therapy session lol
I will strongly disagree with this statement, as there's a serious allegation against GPC, and no legal justification has been published by the authorities.
If there's a legal reason with backing evidence, there's no reason not to share why she was dismissed, and public has every right to know this decision, that's exactly why we have the transparency laws.
Your statement is no different than an assumption where an immigrant claiming they were not discriminated in Germany yet, therefore there's no discrimination against other immigrants.
You would be shocked to find out how racists modern Germany still is, carrying the exact mindset of WW1 and WW2: Germans vs others. I wouldn't be surprised to find out this picture is real.
I was fucking assaulted in my own bedroom and abducted by the Polizeirevier-Neckarstadt-Police officers in Mannheim, on June 26 2026, they then forced me to sign a paper which I did not, then they threatened me then we'll come again tomorrow, which they do on 27 June 2026, all of these are on the video, directly supported by the official medical assault report issued by Theresien Hospital, explicitly stating the assault, how they left me on the street without my glasses, keys, IDs, shoes and so on.
You know what happened after that? German judges from Karlsruhe issued on an official paper that they have no obligation to investigate a case like this :D Sparkasse Rhein Neckar Nord frooze my financial assets, bafin personnel (supposedly the banking regulatory body) blatantly confessed on an official document they sanitized the evidence of the crimes and so on, no court order, no investigation, no nothing. They're all on active duty. If you don't believe this shit, send me a message, I'll send the direct video links of the exposed so called police officers commiting these crimes, that I'm hosting on Rumble. Medical assault reports and all of the official replies with wet inked signature that I received from neo Nazi judges on teletype.
Germans have this "the state makes no mistakes!!!" mindset. You just can not break that wall whatever you do. They're so blind to racism, since it doesn't happen to them in their own country. That's the logic of Germans.
I'd be so down to code a basic ass website from scratch, hell, it can even be a static website where we host it on either some Asian servers where the west has no jurisdiction to send DMCA requests, or on a decentralized network chain, and fucking moderate it, search for the news people can not find, publish it, and all that
It all boils down to unfortunately, you still need some kinda money to operate this shit. We have a problem in this modern age with unification, and being the voice for others. Financially it's so easy to develop this, if people could give a shit and throw a few buxes onto the people who would take the responsibility of such website.

I wrote in another topic I can teach people how to go after PayPal and other big tech hypocrites through regulatory bodies that I got positive results from. Let's discuss what we can do destroy the public image of these two faced criminals. They can always earn more money, but you can't buy public image with your money, remember guys.
They can brand him as whatever they like, as long as we do not unify and start taking action, these criminals will stay in charge. Is he charged with ANY of the crimes he committed? Hell no. How come a known criminal is still in the office? We all know how it is. Governments are, no exception to any government are just elite hypocrites. WE DO NEED TO UNIFY FOR OUR VOICES TO BE HEARD. What happened to the Epstein files? We must talk about these stuff everywhere every second to the point no matter how hard they cooperate with big tech to censor us, they won't be able to. The only way to do that is to unify. Period. Do contact me or leave a comment if you are tired of seeing similar news every single day with no repercussions. We gotta do something.
Open letter to everyone here, who's tired of these corporate bullshits and wanna take action: Let's start discussing the solid/concrete steps that we can start taking rather than screaming into the void:
I was personally going after big corporations (To name a few: PayPal, Patreon, Microsoft, Google, anything that Epic Games own, Bandcamp, Artstation, etc.), any state organs who do receive my complaints but hide behind institutional shields, deploying administrative silence, concealing their full name and title during official correspondence and I did and am still getting results through judicial/consumer protection law oriented bodies such as CFPB, DFPI, Federal Trade Commission, and even going after some German judges who refused to initiate a court case when they're informed that the criminals were German police officers. Doesn't matter if it's a company or a judge, you do can go after them. It all boils down to whether you wanna take action or just complain about it online. The latter as we all know doesn't fruit to anything.
I can create a detailed guideline on how to go after these motherfuckers legally for free, which laws they're blatantly breaking, how to contact these regulatory bodies, what to cite in your legal complaints and so on. We can even start a god damn funding pool to take these motherfuckers to court.
I'm open to hear anyone's opinion on what else we can do, what steps we can take. If I can get results, imagine the fuss we can create with an unified voice.
I'll give you one even better, my phone was stolen in Mannheim by the German police (yeap, the police, I'll even give you the station name: Polizeirevier-Neckarstadt-Mannheim), we ofc contacted every single God damn company on earth to unlink our associated Gmail accounts (since 2fa locks you out and google has zero human monitored channels to contact them in addition to deploying catch-22) openai's response was we should contact a medical personnel to arrange a therapy session lol
I will strongly disagree with this statement, as there's a serious allegation against GPC, and no legal justification has been published by the authorities.
If there's a legal reason with backing evidence, there's no reason not to share why she was dismissed, and public has every right to know this decision, that's exactly why we have the transparency laws.
Your statement is no different than an assumption where an immigrant claiming they were not discriminated in Germany yet, therefore there's no discrimination against other immigrants.
You would be shocked to find out how racists modern Germany still is, carrying the exact mindset of WW1 and WW2: Germans vs others. I wouldn't be surprised to find out this picture is real.
I was fucking assaulted in my own bedroom and abducted by the Polizeirevier-Neckarstadt-Police officers in Mannheim, on June 26 2026, they then forced me to sign a paper which I did not, then they threatened me then we'll come again tomorrow, which they do on 27 June 2026, all of these are on the video, directly supported by the official medical assault report issued by Theresien Hospital, explicitly stating the assault, how they left me on the street without my glasses, keys, IDs, shoes and so on.
You know what happened after that? German judges from Karlsruhe issued on an official paper that they have no obligation to investigate a case like this :D Sparkasse Rhein Neckar Nord frooze my financial assets, bafin personnel (supposedly the banking regulatory body) blatantly confessed on an official document they sanitized the evidence of the crimes and so on, no court order, no investigation, no nothing. They're all on active duty. If you don't believe this shit, send me a message, I'll send the direct video links of the exposed so called police officers commiting these crimes, that I'm hosting on Rumble. Medical assault reports and all of the official replies with wet inked signature that I received from neo Nazi judges on teletype.
Germans have this "the state makes no mistakes!!!" mindset. You just can not break that wall whatever you do. They're so blind to racism, since it doesn't happen to them in their own country. That's the logic of Germans.
I'd be so down to code a basic ass website from scratch, hell, it can even be a static website where we host it on either some Asian servers where the west has no jurisdiction to send DMCA requests, or on a decentralized network chain, and fucking moderate it, search for the news people can not find, publish it, and all that
It all boils down to unfortunately, you still need some kinda money to operate this shit. We have a problem in this modern age with unification, and being the voice for others. Financially it's so easy to develop this, if people could give a shit and throw a few buxes onto the people who would take the responsibility of such website.
