Ban on conversion practices in the European Union

"Objectives :

We call on the European Commission to propose a binding legal ban on conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ citizens in the European Union:

Conversion Practices are interventions aimed at changing, repressing or suppressing the sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression of LGBTQ+ persons.

Such practices, due to their discriminatory, degrading, harmful and fraudulent nature have been qualified as torture by the United Nations, and are currently being banned in a growing number of States.

The EU plays a key role in the protection of fundamental rights and should take actions to fight against all inhuman practices. The Commission should propose a directive adding conversion practices to the list of euro-crimes and/or amend the ongoing directive on equality (2008) to include a ban on these practices.

Furthermore, to fight against the legislative moratorium, the Commission should also enforce a non-binding resolution calling for a widespread ban of conversion practices in the EU.

Finally, we call on the Commission to amend the Victims’ Rights Directive to establishes minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of conversion practices.

All member states should introduce a ban on conversion practices or review their current ones."

TIL that when cars were new, hitting a pedestrian was a serious matter called a *motor killing*. As it happened more as there were more cars and more crashes, Car Manufacturers hired public relations spin doctors to invent the word Jaywalker to shift fault to pedestrians for getting hurt and dying.

Back half of this fact is still true but the first bit is a touch misleading; killing someone with a car in the US is still considered manslaughter, a very serious matter as well.

Go white boy go

Good Idea: Object to Meta using your data for their AI
(this currently affects Facebook and Instagram)

Starting May 27th, 2025, Meta will start using public posts, comments and other public data on Facebook and Instagram for AI training.
This applies to all accounts of users age 18 or older.
Instagram and Facebook users may object to that, and should do so before May 27.

How to object to Meta AI
- Open the object support pages either on Instagram or on Facebook.
- If you are asked to log in, do so.
- Fill out the form on the "Object to Your Information Being Used for AI at Meta" page that opens.
- You only need to make sure that the email address is correct. You can fill out "Please tell us how this processing impacts you", but this is optional and not required.
- Activate the submit button.

Note: You only need to object once, provided that you use the same email address for the Instagram and Facebook account. Otherwise, you need to submit an objection for each account individually.

This is also why stupid megaprojects like the Mukaab, the NAC, NEOM, the Dubai moon and the entire city of Dubai really always happen in dictatorships. Dictators are fucking morons who don't know how anything works, don't care to learn and will have anyone who tells them "no" punished

ugh
