  Just a slight positive spin on this. I mean, I get it. Just like all of you I read this headline and say, no shit.

  But its good these articles are out there. Its not for you and me. It’s for the average person who doesn’t think about this and is blissfully unaware.

  Yeah, I can argue they should care and all that, but that’s pointless. This is a sign that the average person is becoming more aware, and the status quo can change.

  We all have those friends and family that we wish would…just do things differently. Maybe they will now, or soon.

  Just think, wouldn’t it be great if your “arguments” with your family are over messaging each other over SimpleX instead of Signal?

    Yep, totally agree - it’s just getting awareness up.

    When I start explaining this to friends & family they give me the same blank look that I gave them when they talk about nutrition & exercise…

  Google prioritizing profits over the privacy of its users? Colour be shocked.

  Seriously thought, is there anything at all that they do not prioritize over the privacy of its users at this point?

  They’re a publicly-traded company.

  All of them, without any exceptions, place profit above literally anything.

    Yeah ofc, it’s another way of funding a company and the investors want their return on investment as well. Our savings, pensions, index funds etc are also investing in these publicly traded companies and we also want whatever roi we can get.

    Governments just need to do their fucking job to prevent ani consumerism. But considering there are still a lot of people defending stupid rules and regulations (especially about anti consumer practises in the US) I doubt it will change anytime soon.

    We need a new system where profit is generated by the good you do in this world. I fucking hate the current system.
