If ever there was a group that piqued my interest... alas, it's on #facebook, key enabler of #Fascisim, #genocide, #hatespeech, mis- and dis-information, #surveillancecapitalism, and #socialisolation, to name a few.

Nope.

I've never, ever consented to Google Chrome maintaining passwords or bookmarks across devices. I don't want this deeply private information in any cloud, and anyway each device has a unique use case. There's an odd latency now to adding bookmarks. 😡 #privacy #surveillanceCapitalism #cybersecurity

For years, people were mocked for questioning elite impunity.

Then, truth comes out. Memory fades. Facts are obfuscated.

Let’s not allow that anymore. Keep talking and sharing.

So I went to delete my Discord account because fuck them and there were new TOS since last I was there. Options are accept or log out. So I guess you are expected to accept TOS you don’t agree with in order to delete your account. Right. #discord #SurveillanceCapitalism #enshittification

Your "private" Facebook photos aren't private. Data brokers & AI training systems have full access. Meta punishes you for trying to leave with dark patterns & broken tools. Fight back
