  • How privacy respecting can it be when you have to jump through hoops to turn off everything it shouldn’t do by default, in the name of privacy in the first place?

  • That should be my line.

  • Lurking is so much easier though!

  • A choice allows for saying no. Installing it anyway takes away your choice. Having to disable something you didn’t want to begin with puts the responsibility on the person that didn’t want it. Then you are responsible for keeping up with it hoping it doesn’t turn itself on in an update or send information somewhere regardless of being disabled.

    A separate update/download for AI would actually give the user a choice.

  • AI should be built like the internet — open, accessible, and driven by choice

    If they really wanted to give you a choice, they would allow the option of saying no, don’t install any of it.

  • Let’s do one better and get rid of all the surveillance.

  • Good crew!

  • Ublock lite is very lite compared to the original. Even using every filter option it still misses quite a bit. I’ll stick with Firefox.

  • Technically true

  • Google can't keep malware off the platform now, but sure, make it mandatory you can't go anywhere else unless they say so first.

  • I usually tell people I have better ways of doing actual work that doesn’t require me to hand over every facet of my life.

  • Switzerland has a surveillance law in the works that will force VPNs, messaging apps, and online platforms to log users' identities, IP addresses, and metadata for government access

  • I can only answer why I dropped Windows. I wasn’t going to pay a company to force AI spyware onto my system, ignore my commands with every update that negated them, or hold my data hostage if I didn’t jump through their endless hoops; all to claim my data as theirs with their end goal being to charge me more money for accessing what is supposed to be mine in the first place!

  • More and more sites are moving away from allowing users access when creating accounts with temporary or alias addresses, and usage with vpns. Identity based accounts can’t be tracked if they don’t know your true identity.

    In the not too distant future, everything you do online and off will be connected to your real world identity.
