WHATSAPP PICTURE

You know who I might not trust…

eggs

automated processes

journalists who ignore my requests

intimidating language

journalists who don’t care about my safety

journalists who don’t think about the impact of embedding my content

news organisations that scrape my YouTube video into their own media player, two years after I uploaded it, without my permission or knowledge, and without sharing any revenue they earn by adding a 20 second pre-roll ad
