Even made a video to help people get away from Google search.

Individual action as a way to effect change or “voting with your dollar” is a myth that these large corporations benefit from. Sure, we should stop using their services, but you’re never going to convince people to individually give things up in the hundreds of millions.
You gotta force legislators into actually doing their jobs, and failing that, burn down the fucking data centers.
While I agree, its apathy and stupidity that led us to this point. Big tech would have nowhere near this much power if every single person didnt willingly hand out all of their data at every turn and use every big tech product that was advertised to them.
It is capitalism that got us corporations and data centers. nobody voted to live under capitalism, and the last time people tried to do anything else we had a civil war over it. blaming the actions of a government and the completely undemocratic system it derives its power from on the people it governs is stupid. you should blame those in power, the politicians and their capitalist overlords, instead of the people who mostly have no say in what their government decides to do to them.
All because normies can’t take it upon themselves to do any research and change search engines and stop using google products…we gave them this power.
I hate people.
I’m doing my part.

Collective misbehavior requires collective correction.

Lol blame people while a whole government does fucking nothing but be concerned.
Well yeah but the people elected the government…but yes theyre all corrupt so it doesnt matter much.
