tech lies to you, and nickles and dimes for subscriptions. those same subscriptions are usually required to migitage problems that the vary companies have created in hopes of extorting you for money... by offering services/solutions to the problems they created in the first place.
do not... ever.... trust a company.
if a company approaches you, run.. scream rape and run, or stand your ground and verbally fight them to show others how predatory they are. corporations, especially tech want nothing more then to abuse and rape you as much as possible. you are nothing to them, you are disposable.
make them irrelevant

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
