Some people just have other priorities. As soon as you start moral grandstanding like this you better check your squeaky clean because I bet there’s something like this that can be said about you.
Speak for yourself. I have my own chip fab in my basement and I make my own smartphones and PC boards. I get all of the glass and silicon I need from local beach sand.
If you want one of my phones, graphics cards, or mother boards, visit my stall at the farmers market. I also pack my electronics in sustainable mason jars. If you return the jars I will give you a discount on my handmade hemp USB cables.

I never cage my sand.
Do you take the sand calfs away from their sand mothers?
I make sure to melt entire families of sand at once.
Hey, if we don’t let people in glass houses throw stones, then we’ll still end up with too many glass houses.

Another data leaks trap. It’s like Zuck is saying, “Come here, so I can get more data from you guys.”
Every policy about data collection is mandatory for users, with no difference from just setting it without asking.
#justzuckthings
There is a difference in setting it without asking, and it’s your explicit consent.
Wasn’t the big issue that you didn’t consent, before?
Nobody cares. I don’t care about targeted ads. It’s fucking ads, not death by firing squads.
I feel like you’re the perfect candidate for reading more about it. It’s not the ads, it’s how they obtain the information, what they are obtaining and how that information can be shared and used in other circumstances that are of real concern. Cambridge analytica (now emerdata) showed people can be persuaded with this information to vote a certain way and this is on a massive scale so imagine what people could do with a more targeted approach.

Well, we all are. How else are you accessing this platform? Through some psionic ability?
Yes. And I’m guessing you are too. Otherwise, how did you know I was using psychic powers to shitpost on the internet?
I also have created my own ISP.
Do you mean those people who will respect and applaud decisions of huge tech corporations no matter what?
No clue. Some people are willing slaves.For those people, the “free” services they’re using aren’t “bad enough” for them to bother leaving. Couple that with the majority of people they care about also staying, and that’s the result.
trust vs necessary.
I don’t trust them but they are a necessary evil for some tasks. like messaging apps, what use is Signal or other secure/foss messaging app if the people you need to communicate with uses meta products. so it is necessary for me to use meta products in order to facilitate communication with some group of people.
Operating system our company only uses windows and provide a laptop with windows as an OS. now why would I go to trouble myself in reformatting this laptop to unstall other OS when it isn’t even mine and would get me into trouble, not to mention break compatibility with my worke ecosystem. so, i use windows.
so yeah, it applies to others as well

It’s silly watching people like you who just scream over “big tech” blow any chance of normies listening to you. You do more damage then good.
OP doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to understand that I can think “big tech” does a lot of bad things, but I can still personally use their products to make my life more efficient. I have accepted the risk. That doesn’t mean I agree the risk should exist. More than 1 thing can be true. What a crazy concept.
Pretty much all of us are using products made by slave labor. But we have to live in modern society. We can’t make our own clothes.
I hate that the term “big tech” caught on.
Normies mostly
Dude in yellow shorts pissing over the fence has some serious pressure! I’m good for maybe 1.5-2ft vertical… Is this even possible or is it likely a water hose or something?
Being serious, it was just a hose. I’ve seen several people do that, where they blast a hose from their crotch and are like “Look at me, I’m the most powerful pisser of all time!”
Technically a pisspost, not a shitpost.
Big Tech: Drip, drip, drip.
Trickle down economics
wdym?
It was meant to be a word play with a neocapitalist concept by that name. It’s literally trickling down on the users.
