Remember, if a project is not free (as freedom) then you pay for it with your data, and not only to "keep the service free" - your data brings them a huge profit.

If I'm in control, where's the option to disable data collection about me?

This is the choice you get from services that are not free (as freedom) - choose ads, or ads; data collection, or data collection.

"Ads on #Twitter are what keep our service free." - Mm-hmm, so it's not about collecting users' data and constantly reselling it to advertisers. Got ya.

This is how big companies justify your data collection and then its constant resale to advertisers - to keep their service "free".

Really interesting example of a privacy issue highlighted on r/privacy yesterday:

> visited a roommate's place and was bombarded with ads about engagement rings when I used his wifi. I asked him if he was going to propose to his girlfriend and he was shocked I found out. Helped him install PiHole/network wide ad blocking before she found out.

'Too big to fail': why even a historic ad boycott won’t change Facebook
theguardian.com/technology/202

"Chatterjee also pointed out that even as Facebook endures a “tongue-lashing in the US”, it continues to consolidate and expand its power abroad, such as through its $5.7bn deal with Jio Platforms in India, an investment that he expects will give it “unprecedented access to Indian consumers”."

Privacy is important.

When you click a link and visit another website, it tells them what page you were on, allowing them to track your activity.

We fixed this, it will be rolling out soon!
