please don't use #FuckOffGoogle or #FuckOffFacebook hashtags. it's rude and insulting whole companies (and the people working there too) should not be #openweb attitude IMO. I believe we can do better than that.
@steckerhalter I agree. It's very childish in my opinion.
If you don't like Google, just don't use it. But don't be extremist and annoy everyone by your radical view.
@thomas @steckerhalter Sorry, but
1/ The most "childish" is to think that one *can* "just not use" Google or Facebook as they track/profile you no matter what, through like buttons, analytics, fonts, javascript etc. even if you don't want to be their client.
2/ telling to "fuck off" is a strong way to say "get out", not an insult per se. We want these companies *out* of our 'hoods and lives.
If you're shocked ask yourself about your relationship to money/companies/capital. do you work for them?
@FuckOffGoogle I know what you mean, but telling anyone to fuck off is not the way to put it IMO, but of course we want to get rid of the trackers and manipulators @thomas
@steckerhalter @thomas
It's not just about trackers. It is about profiling, selling profiles, biasing search results ("filter bubble" to place ads), about mass automated censorship (youtube), lockdown of terminals (androids+gservices), advancing dystopian tech (glasses, transhumanism) and setting them as trends. It is about "smart city", participation in US drone program, speculation and tax evasion. It is about imposing Silicon Valley ideology to the world.
@FuckOffGoogle @steckerhalter @thomas Please request facebook and google employees to quit their jobs.. and do something better with theirs lifes... fck capitalism!
@FuckOffGoogle @thomas @steckerhalter
If you think you can just "not use" those services or delete your account and be kind, not using the F word, go to your favorite porn website, right click 'inspect element' and check all the 'src' attributes.
The Handmaid's Tale would be an extreme ending but as a reminder, USA has a vice president who thinks gays should be treated with electroshock.
The fact that a corporation can make a list of people who should receive this "treatment" is a problem.
