Lisa Goodwin+FollowSo it's official bans on non-US sunscreen and now I can’t even order my sunscreen anymoreJust got an email from my Canadian shipper, telling me they will stop sending non US sunscreens after August 25. For anyone who cares about skin health this is a huge deal -- Mexoryl has been considered one of the best sunscreen agents in the world and it has been approved in many countries for more than 20 years. Meanwhile the FDA still has not approved it. The frustrating part is that we now have to settle for the same old US formulas that have not changed in decades. Some brands will put out “FDA approved” versions but that just means they removed the ingredients that actually worked and replaced them with the usual filters. It makes no sense to me. These products have been safely used by millions of people worldwide for years. Instead of letting us have access to them the FDA basically says there is not enough data. So we get stuck with sunscreen technology from the 1930s while the rest of the world moves on. #Sunscreen #Skincare #FDA #Health #ConsumerRights 00Share

Bethany Rivera+FollowWould You Return a TV Over Forced Ads?Just unboxed a shiny new smart TV, only to be hit with unskippable, ultra-bright ads every time it wakes up. Some users say this is a dealbreaker, arguing it’s a sneaky way for manufacturers to cash in after you’ve already paid. Others suggest unplugging from the internet or using a separate streaming device to dodge the annoyance. Is this the future of connected gadgets, or should we push back against intrusive tech? #SmartTV #AdTech #ConsumerRights #Tech32Share
Kimberly Walters+FollowIs Verizon’s Unlock Policy Really the Problem?Verizon wants the FCC to make it harder for you to unlock your phone, claiming the 60-day rule is fueling fraud and hurting their business. But is this really about security, or just a way to keep customers locked in while rivals offer better deals? Would a longer lock-in period actually help consumers, or just slow down competition? Let’s hear your take: is Verizon protecting users, or just protecting itself? #Verizon #WirelessDebate #PhoneUnlocking #TechPolicy #ConsumerRights #Tech10Share
Traci Keller+FollowBus Giant Busted for GreenwashingFlixbus just got called out big time for pretending to be super eco-friendly without backing it up. German courts fined them for claiming they’re the “most environmentally-friendly” way to travel, but they couldn’t prove it. Turns out, their CO2 offset options weren’t transparent either. This is a huge win against greenwashing—maybe now brands will think twice before making fake green claims! Would you trust a company after this? #Greenwashing #Flixbus #EcoFriendly #Sustainability #ConsumerRights #Transportation10Share
olee+FollowSiri Listened In—But Was It Worth $20?Apple’s $95 million settlement over accidental Siri activations is making waves. If you’ve ever had Siri pop up uninvited during a private chat, you might be owed a small payout. But here’s the real debate: Is a $20 check enough to cover a decade of privacy slip-ups? Or does this settlement just highlight how much we undervalue our digital privacy? Let’s talk: would you trade your data for a few bucks? #AppleSettlement #DigitalPrivacy #TechDebate #Siri #ConsumerRights #Tech00Share
Amanda Short+FollowAre Retailers Fueling the Pokémon Card Hype?Just spotted Prismatic Evolutions Pokémon cards on Target’s site for $40—when they should be $15. It’s not just eBay anymore; even big box stores are getting in on the mark-up game, and it’s not always clear if you’re buying from a third-party. Is this the new normal for collectibles, or should retailers be more transparent? Let’s talk: is this fair game or a breach of trust for fans? #PokemonTCG #RetailTransparency #Collectibles #TechDebate #ConsumerRights #Games50Share
