  It’s all being dumped into data centers now. Google and Meta don’t need your face to prove who you are to create a new login, they need it to link data. What’s awful is the need to log in is so intense, it worked. Apparently YouTube aspirations are worth it. And shopping Facebook marketplace.

  Now, Amazon isn’t allowing returns for many an individual without a pic or upload of government issued ID. Amazon allowed you to both pay and have an item shipped without this ID. But for a return, they now need it. I’m not saying this ask isn’t multipurpose, but it also links your data together and is probably being dumped into data centers with everything else.

  Because if a company gives up profits to be nice, another company will swoop in and get inherently rewarded by doing the profitable thing instead

  Why would a company not be, not like people are going to stop using Windows

    Gosh, if only there were another operating system that people could use rather than have their privacy and security raked over the coals by poor design fueld by next quarter’s profits.

    It’s a shame that, according to a recent study of social media respondents, 98% of the Internet are Professional Valorant streamers, who play League of Legends and side hustle as a Mechanical Engineer and Digital Artist or they could browse around the world of alternative operating system and mayhaps find some other Operating System which fits their needs (TempleOS).

      Lol yeah we have literal death squads using data from data brokers to identify where to raid, yet asking one to not use Google Chrome is simply too much.

        Yeah, but giving up my Apex Legends career and most significant life investment is a lot harder than tolerating a little fascism, what with me being a white person and all.
