A scathing new report takes aim directly at Big Tech and alleged violations of privacy.

    This is why I’m slowly migrating to the Fediverse.

    Fuck social media companies.

      Well, the Fediverse isn’t any more private, but at least it doesn’t care much about your data. That said, any company could come and harvest all of that data if it wanted since it’s open.

      The Fediverse isn’t the final step here.

        I understand that, but it’s more about the targeted advertisements, sponsored posts, etc. Just give me my goddamn content and leave me alone LOL
