‘Profiting from misery’: how TikTok makes money from child begging livestreams
TikTok says it bans child begging and other forms of begging it considers exploitative, and says it has strict policies on users who go live. But an Observer investigation has found the practice widespread. Begging live streams are actively promoted by the algorithm and TikTok profits from the content, taking fees and commission of up to 70%.

Any of you feeling liberated yet? I am not.
100% yes to this.
We treat post-doctoral researchers the way we treat sessional tutors: exploit them for their labour & intellectual property, then spit them out. A select few who are willing & able to play the games our research funding models require (designing projects that match the political times , then being named on a maximum number of publications - an inevitable incentive to dodgy research practice & ongoing exploitation of non-tenured staff) achieve tenure & build high profile careers. The rest of us suffer moral injury & burnout.
Whose interests are served by this?

In short: US companies can apply for #mining rights in international waters, essentially bypassing international environmental regulations and protections meant to safeguard the ocean. This is a huge step towards the industrial #exploitation of the #DeepSea, which remains one of the last pristine frontiers on Earth.
And it’s not just a legal technicality, this is an environmental disaster in the making!
Ummm... #Florida considers easing #ChildLabor laws after pushing out #immigrants
A new law under consideration in the state Legislature would roll back child labor laws to make up for a dwindling labor pool.
By Ja'han Jones, March 27, 2025
Excerpt: "Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis backs the law and has defended the idea of teenagers and college students working these jobs. DeSantis also explicitly linked the effort to the loss of immigrant labor. Speaking about the consequences of state verification laws at an event with border czar #TomHoman, the governor said, 'Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people. And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?'
"In recent years, several states — many of them led by #Republican governors — have rolled back child labor laws. This map from the Economic Policy Institute illustrates the spike in states rolling back these laws from 2021 to 2024. Back in 2023, for example, #Arkansas Gov. #SarahHuckabeeSanders signed a bill that made it easier for companies to hire children without getting consent from their parents. One month earlier, The New York Times published a bombshell report about the #exploitation of immigrant children in #factories operated by some of the most well-known companies in the U.S.
"That story should have spurred a nationwide push to strengthen child labor laws. Instead, states like Florida are going in the opposite direction, weakening such laws in part to deal with the fallout from the conservative movement’s demonization of immigrants. They’re essentially using child labor to paper over the gaps left by their draconian immigration policies.
"#Project2025, the far-right playbook for Trump’s second term, specifically calls for rolling back 'hazard' regulations around child labor. The text claims, 'Some young adults show an interest in inherently dangerous jobs' and argues that 'with parental consent and proper training, certain young adults should be allowed to learn and work in more dangerous occupations.'
"Even as child labor laws are being rolled back, the Trump administration is working to gut #SocialServices, including funds that help provide #SchoolLunches to children and programs, like the supplemental nutrition assistance program [#SNAP], that help feed poor families. And if those cuts stay in place, they may leave American families with few alternatives to sending their children to work to keep food on the table."

What's better than immigrant employees who you can underpay, abuse and threaten to report to ICE if they try to organize?
That's right, Children!
Their tiny fingers and hands are ideal for unclogging gears and conveyor belts. Their youthful exuberance, energy, and sense of invincibility are easily exploitable to get the risky work you need done! Incentivize them with vape pens and pizza parties. Pay them a fraction of what you'd pay adults. And if they organize? Just fire them all and replace them with their younger siblings.
A thought for Saturday:
There are people behind #folklore of any sort. These people have told their stories, practised their rites, maintained their traditions because they believed in them, and because the folklore was theirs.
When we begin to view these people’s folklore as a means to our end (which nearly always means the extraction of filthy lucre, directly or otherwise), our practice removes us from the people who developed the folklore; we are rather conducting capitalistic, and ultimately colonialistic, #exploitation.
Is that who we want to be?
