Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Disney is reportedly preparing to replace paper with electronic "magic bands" for visitors to its parks. The devices, patent applications for which have been filed with the US Government, would work like Oyster cards, the swipe passes used on buses and Tubes in London, and give access to hotels and other products and services provided by Mickey.
Convenient sure, but, with greater perks for Disney, who would be able to track the movements and spending of guests, bombarding them with stuff at just the right time. Magic indeed!
