Then sell all your shit and live without any device connected to the internet. If you believe a trillion dollar company can't track what you like then I've got bad news for you.

Oh wait, even if you sell your shit, they just need to know who your friends are and they can create a profile of you... Woops! 🤷

What's funny is that you're trusting a bunch of random Lemmy hosts right now, but not companies that can be identified and that you can tell which laws apply to them.

    Individuals can't be corrupted in exchange for money, good to know 👍

    I'm sure they would also protect your data with their life if authorities came knocking.

    I just think the privacy crowd is mostly wackos that believe in the privacy fairy, that's all 🤷 Taking tons of measures to not have their data seen by others but still participating in public forums... If your privacy is so important then stay offline.

    You mistake (best case scenario) a desire for privacy with perfect anonymity. It is perfectly sane to wish to engage in public discourse without being milked by ad companies. The fact that most platforms make this stupidly difficult is no reason to dismiss everything we say as nonsense. Do get a grip, please.
