I don’t trust them. I use them and throw them. I know it can go down anytime or it can change it’s rules and regulations anytime. Enjoy until then and if it fucks like reddit, move on and find new place. Sometimes when everyone around us is using big tech products for work or personal, we have to use it.

“People who think Apple is private”
This must be a meme
You should add some words on there
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.
Technically a pisspost, not a shitpost.

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.
It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem, it’s me.
You like it?
I am pro-data-collection, yes.

I support the improvements in advertising, UX, and design innovation that data collection yields, and I reject utterly that it is an “invasion of privacy” with the same enthusiasm as I reject “keeping your money in banks is for suckers” and “the government tracks you through your phone”
Fears of data collection are conspiracy-driven and not grounded in reality. No one is upset about Nielsen “harvesting” TV data, as an obvious example.
Malware brokers and Espionage are a thing, if you are too mutch effort, they use Dragnet surveillance witch gets better every year with AI.
I’m quite aware. I just told you I worked in the credit processor sector.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
Nielsen never actually knew what you were watching though. They had to take your word for it. The comparison would be if Nielsen had trackers on your eyes and cameras and microphones in your house. I do agree most concerns about data collection are overblown, but that doesn’t mean opening yourself up to any and all data collection is wise. And to act like there’s never an issue of companies taking your data for ill is laughably naïve IMO. If nothing else, unnecessarily sharing personal data exposes you as a larger target for things like identify theft.
I’m not really concerned with identity theft either, having worked in the credit/finance sector.
I’m a security professional too and you’re just yelling against an idealogy. These people want to be angry at big tech, they don’t understand the privacy concerns at all. Most of them still talk about Alexa spying on you.
Send me your name and home address now, nothing to hide nothing to fear.
I mean I would because I’m definitely not afraid of anyone posting on Lemmy lol, but that’s rather beside the point since this isn’t how data collection works
None of that shit looks like a name or address so I’m not reading it.
Yes why be right when you can pretend you’re hard?
Wasnt this ment to be a joke thread?
Why is big tech worse than big government
I hate democracy so much. /s
Government are behind the big tech
You got it backwards, big corporations own the government, but not limited to big tech. Oil and gas companies, Telecommunications, transportation, arms, shipping, retail and so forth.

What’s the difference?
When did he say that it was?
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.
I hate that the term “big tech” caught on.
Hey don’t kink shame my golden showers
Some people just want to watch the world burn
And fully naked in front of the world too
People jerking off over Threads because they hate Elon
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.
Nobody cares. I don’t care about targeted ads. It’s fucking ads, not death by firing squads.
#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?

Big Tech: Drip, drip, drip.
