Any help will be very appreciated (I'm doing my research in the meantime!)

Can we please, please, please ban all the cars already?

This passage from Zuboff's Surveillance Capitalism just got a +100 relevance bonus in the wake of the #EU #copyright vote.

"Pollution now kills three times as many people worldwide as Aids, tuberculosis and malaria combined. (...) Burning fossil fuels, according to a recent paper, is now “the world’s most significant threat to children’s health”

Ban. All. The. Cars.

Just came up with this example while explaining to a friend why we should never allow power to concentrate, maybe it can be useful to you as well:

"power is like plutonium: if you put too much of it in one place, the chances of a devastating explosion (aka fascism) skyrocket. On the contrary, if you keep tiny specks of it in a thousand different places, it's easily contained, though still dangerous"

This is true, yet the cooperative form is still far, far better than any other form of economic organisation as it has democratic values baked in by default. Also, cooperatives are a good way to exploit the capitalist obsession about private property and entrepreneurship in our favor: by posing as "businesses" FOSS projects would be harder to attack as dismantling them would appear as an attack on people doing business, a taboo under capitalism

"GM captured minuted details such as station selection, volume level, and ZIP codes of vehicle owners, and then used the car’s built-in Wi-Fi signal to upload the data to its servers. The goal was to determine the relationship between what drivers listen to and what they buy and then turn around and sell the data to advertisers and radio operators."
