*S6M-00718 Patrick Harvie: Concern over At-risk Glasgow Life Jobs and Venues—That the Parliament notes with concern reports that 500 jobs at Glasgow Life are at risk, due to its current funding crisis, and that 80 out of its 171 venues remain closed to the public with no plans to reopen; understands that Glasgow Life has lost £38 million in the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that lost-income funding, provided by the Scottish Government, has been insufficient to close this gap; further understands that trade unions have jointly lodged a collective grievance over a lack of consultation regarding job losses; supports the efforts of trade unions and community campaigners in demanding answers and accountability for ongoing closures and potential job losses, and considers that the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council have a shared responsibility to ensure that the public services operated by Glasgow Life are reopened to serve communities throughout Glasgow.

*S6M-00689 Patrick Harvie: Concern over Calls to Ban Online Anonymity—That the Parliament notes that racism, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia, among other forms of abuse, are prevalent on social media; believes social media companies should do more to tackle this, including permanently banning any users of their service who repeatedly carry out such abuse; notes the findings of a three-year-long research project entitled Digital Social Norm Enforcement: Online Firestorms in Social Media, published in 2016, which found that "non-anonymous individuals are more aggressive compared to anonymous individuals"; considers that many people have a legitimate reason for requiring anonymity online, including people who have experienced domestic abuse, LGBTQ+ people who may not be out, sex workers who may also not be out, whistleblowers and activists living in repressive regimes, and believes that regulation to prohibit anonymity and require the use of real names would be counter-productive and could cause serious unintended harm.
