    So when do they plan to do something about those domestic businesses trying to manipulate citizens of America?

        They’re prospective communists. Supposedly they’re going to get there by 2050, but they just built a new massive luxury tower for their ultra wealthy so…

          It’s just like Marx said: “If you do an oppressive oligarchy for 100 years, it magically transforms into communism”

            If that were true then the United States would have been communist by now

      While you’re not wrong about double standards, anything that discourages the use of vapid social media platforms is a win in my book. Use whatever backwards logic you like to make it happen so long as it’s effective.

          Lemmy is a message board, not social media. Like fark or something awful. You have no idea who the duck i am. How is that social?

              No it isn’t.

              When you download the app you let them have the following information/data about you:

              Purchases, location, contacts, search history, identifiers (!!), diagnostics, financial info, contact info, user content, browsing history, and usage data.

              Please tell us how any of that is “anonymous”.

                Cool dude, you’ve identified that big corporations data farm.

                Random bloke user with a vendetta still doesn’t know who I am, and that’s who I’m more worried about on the personal scale.

                Undoubtedly, especially since I haven’t taken particular steps to obfuscate my identity here.

                But as I said in a comment below, I’m more worried about some unhinged nutbag online randomly targeting me than being a person of interest by any nefarious groups or organizations.

      I mean, the domestic businesses are the ones who own Congress and are using it to get rid of a competitor.
