    Tech companies need to stop being passive

    you need to realize that US tech bros are not only complicit but actually the main drivers and sponsors of this speed run into a fascist surveillance state

    Stop using their products. Stop your subscriptions. Stop all unnecessary consumption.

      Exactly this. Anyone who thinks that we the people would be given communication tools for free (free of cost, under our control and completely secure) from those that oppress us is sadly, sadly mistaken.

      They handed us the very thing that allows them to look deeply, deeply into our lives. Oh! And sell us shit while they do it.

          I don’t know if enough people care to make the sacrifice. I like the idea of having hope, but I don’t have much faith left in humanity to fight against the system they’re so tied into now

              I hope so, it’s only going to get more grim until enough people make a significant impact on all of these evil fucks. And that’s just the money, they’ll still be ideologically evil no matter how much we squeeze them.
