Elsevier appears to be collecting and monetizing our personal data, sometimes without our consent. The data they collect can be used to "extrapolate core working hours, vacation times, and other patterns of a person’s life."
What can we do?
Over 20,000 researchers are refusing to publish, review, or edit for Elsevier. You can also ask them to delete your "non-integral" personal data: https://www.elsevier.com/legal/privacy-policy/data-request

I'm sick of people saying it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of #capitalism. I think about the end of capitalism every day. Today I imagined what it would be like to live in a community that valued me for being present rather than "useful" or "productive." In that world, I think I would spend a lot more time taking care of plants. I would tell stories when I felt like it, instead of on deadline. What do you imagine? #imaginetheendofcapitalism

To absolutely NO ONE'S surprise #antivaxxers are once again completely WRONG.
As if that needs to be actually be said anymore with the literally EVERYTHING they claim being false.
Once again, none of the mRNA covid vaccines cause blood clots.

Our members shouldn’t be seeing children coming to class who haven’t had enough food to eat – but for too many pupils this is an everyday reality. @38degrees

Every healthcare story is negative atm.
“Hospice charities providing end-of-life services in partnership with the NHS have warned they will have to shut beds and sack staff because of the catastrophic impact of rising energy bills.”
