Someone should make a Bluesky algorithm you can talk to directly instead of liking everything but what you don’t want to see to get it out of your feed.

At Vodafone’s AGM today, two of our brave former franchisees stood up and asked CEO Margherita Della Valle a simple, human question:
“Margherita, how do you sleep at night knowing Vodafone’s actions left people suicidal, cost them homes, and left them drowning in debt?”

Ok but where are these numbers coming from? Is there a step-by-step plan that once costed amounted to $4B, or is it just a number pulled out of a hat?
