Will people start caring for their privacy if most of the links posted were tracking free?

The reason I am asking is because despite the amount of posts I posted and all the ways that I advocated for getting news from tracking free websites/ non-profits, people don’t seem to change.

I still see people posting links from people, the independent, CBS, Vox Media and other evil companies still being posted.

Will people on the long-term change or is it a lost cause?

    As a german, the standing up to the american flag and sometimes pledging your allegiance in schools is some insane north korea shit to me. Does that still happen?

      Yes, it’s practically mandatory in school and sporting events (major and minor). It’s nationalist and authoritarian on its face, both being utterly incompatible with the concept of freedom and liberty. A free people should not be “pledging allegiance” to anything or anyone, ever.

        Thanks for letting me know.

        I hope it isn’t mandatory, because that would be undeniable indoctrination, but I imagine there is social pressure anyways. It’s good to hear that some states don’t do it. I hope it becomes less and less common in the future.
