Ban fast fashion ads, especially those with very questionable labour practices. 🛑

"If Ofcom wishes to maintain the authority of its code – and live up to its billing as the broadcasters’ regulator – it can no longer justify its inaction" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Last month, European Parliament said that Saudi Arabia hosting the 2034 World Cup “undermines the principles upon which FIFA was founded” - gender equality, human rights and environmental concerns. Unsurprisingly, FIFA has doubled down. 🧵

This is good to see from our counterparts in northeast London. The endless rise of adverts CAN be resisted! Da iawn, a dal ati, @adblockhackney.bsky.social! #AdvertisingShitsInYourHead

You are on fire @adblockhackney.bsky.social 🔥- keeping pavements & public spaces for people & nature not corporate ads! Communities don't need energy hungry, pavement blocking ads promoting consumerism & products that are bad for people & the planet - our neighbourhoods are #BetterWithoutBillboards

Another useless digital advertising board blocked in #Hackney. This time on the corner of Kingsland and Richmond Road. 🎉 @adfreecities.bsky.social

Great to see this article on advertising & child health in the @bmj.com which draws on a lot of the same evidence we found in our Consuming Childhood briefing adfreecities.org.uk/wp-content/u... We would be very interested to hear from more academics & organisations who are working on this in the UK

Great news from @adblockhackney.bsky.social 🥳 We CAN all ensure our communities are for people & nature rather than corporates & reclaim our public spaces!

We've just heard that another disgusting digital billboard has just been refused permission 🎉🙌following objections from Adblock Hackney supporters. This one was going to illuminate Seven Sisters Road next to Finsbury Park. #Hackney @adfreecities.bsky.social

LIVE MORE, BUY LESS. An anti-consumerist thought for #BlackFriday, and a friendly reminder that over-consumption is destroying the planet.

Spotted in Clapton. Winner of #ZAPGames2024 political detournement category.
