It's not even about privacy, tbh. "God I hate all these ads." "God I hate all this AI shit." Um, hey, can I suggest a tool that's totally free and solves that problem easily? "No, I'll just keep suffering."

"Oh wait, there's this new app called Twzlrrrrr? I have no idea what it does but everyone else is on it so I need to hand over six forms of ID and triple backflip through a flaming hula hoop to have it!"

Btw, it also has ads and AI.

And these are the same people who are like "man fuck ICE, fuck Trump." My brother in Christ, these same companies you refuse to stop using are propping up ICE and Trump. All Big Tech is bending the knee. All of them have government surveillance. You think the NSA does their own wiretapping anymore? Dream on. They buy it all from Facebook and Amazon and Google. Corporate surveillance IS government surveillance.
