Our heart aches for those lost or injured in this act of terror.

I agree, but the same is true of @google. @stevewoz how do we get rid of Google when they're so pervasive? #Maps #Android #Gmail #Chrome #Search #Drive (and more) are all monetising user data just like @facebook.

@Firefox offers a multiaccount container add-on. This needs to become a standard part of the browser. Using account containers means that each account (Twitter, FB, Google, etcetera) can't see and track everything else that you're doing and seeing on your browser.

This will never come to Google Chrome because it goes against Google's interests. #Firefox should push this hard.

Google is trolling Christians.

Wow. Not sure if I should be happy for New Yorkers or sad for Londoner, but probably both. What the hell is going on in England?

Basically, an #esports #popculture #vr coming of age movie. 8/10. I dinged it one point for the lack of a single @rushtheband song in a movie based on a book in which #Rush was central to the plot.

Big shout-out to @RealCandaceO for taking the #redpill. Keep pushing for #Freedom.

Truly and deeply disappointed at the absence of @rushtheband from @readyplayerone.

Let's talk about #NetNeutrality

The messaging that you hear comes directly from the big data mining web companies. Their natural competition is the ISP's, who build out the expensive architecture needed for Google and Facebook to operate. #NetNeutrality is a perverse term, used as doublespeak, to back government regulations that prevented ISP's from competing with them.

Not using apps or phones isn't a viable solution since they do add value.

In the meantime, while users may #DeleteFacebook, does it really matter if instead all of their information is being harvested and used in the same and perhaps worse ways by Twitter, Google, Microsoft and Apple?

What we need are privacy focused alternatives and those are coming, slowly to be sure, and based on new distributed technologies.Blockchain technologies are probably the answer, in five to eight years time.
