I’ll never understand why Facebook didn’t just offer opt-in privacy features to placate the small percentage of the population that care and make noise about these things. They’d likely still be a major hub and would’ve lost a small slice of a much bigger pie.
Because Opt-in is their kryptonite. They know very well that 99% of their users never change the default settings. They will fight tooth and nail against privacy by default because it's against their business model.
Yeah that’s what I mean. Add privacy features but make them opt in.
Does mark look like a smart person to you?
I mean yes he looks like a total nerd. Got into Harvard on merit and Microsoft had already tried to buy a company off him he started in high school.
But seems the success and everyone blowing smoke up his arse warped his perspective.
Carney or Zuckerberg?
Zuck
If users want privacy, then they should have never used gmail in the first place.
The ONLY reason I'm on Proton mail is because My Bank insists on it.
Your bank wanrs proton?
Yes. Because they have "secure" in the name. 🙄
Andy Yen tipped his hand, he’s a trumpbitch. Money you pay them supports a facist fuck
Fun fact: Fascism is not thinking republicans will do better than democrats in pursuing antitrust battles against big tech for the benefit of smaller businesses.
Please don't use this word at random, plenty of people in my country (and many others) died fighting fascism.
You 're right, partly, in noting that facism doesn't care to curdle tech at all and has given some not-so-subtle chant code on behavior. No one clocks it for what it claims to be because it's so detailed in declaration that the digestion of what isn't even an expression, to boot.
Facism has no fucks given to tech but will dance like it's Mardi Gras and you note the sign about and absolute refusal to claim gender. Any at all must be discarded to enter this art of chanting and rituallizing to the end of the hearing to the synchronization from time, story, kharma, and of course language.
Host your own email server, that’s the point of email
But in reality, email is a good example of why you shouldn’t use federated services
Gladly leave Gmail, but DEFINITELY not for Proton
