So, you’re finally getting around to ditching your facebook account, eh? Congratulations! Frankly, it's about time. Many of us have been clear of that site for years now. We knew they were founded by the CIA venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel. We knew they were selling our information. We knew they were a bad deal, all around: so, welcome to the club!
Guess what: there’s more organizations and technologies out there who are just as bad – for you, for your freedom, for our society, for free speech .. take your pick! If you are serious about reclaiming your privacy and taking a bit of power back from the technology giants, there is much more to do.
You should drop these providers IMMEDIATELY.
- Microsoft
- Apple / OS x / iOS
- Youtube
- Netflix
- Android
- Alexa etc. (Slap yourself.)
- Smart Phones, in their entirety (yes really.)
Why do these guys make the list?
Spying. Censorship. The sale of your user data to external entities. Wholesale data sharing with intelligence agencies. The cataloging of every word you type (or speak!) Shaping of the discussion. Banning ideas they disagree with. Dictating which content you can and cannot see! And so much more.
If you’ve recently dropped facebook, good for you. Now that you’re aware: take a look at your other technical providers and STOP using those who are stealing from you, and stealing from us all. Our technological future is being shaped by organizations and individuals who do NOT have our best interests at heart.
The time to take a stand is now. Actually you're way behind the curve, but better late than never.
Simulated Microsoft/facebook user.
