Size matters, and what you do with it. But keep it safe

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.cafe/post/1482289

It’s an opinion article, but I heavily agree with it. It’s really sad that technical decisions are made by chimps who can’t tell the difference between a computer and internet.

The fight for privacy is not new, and it predates the internet by far.

The problem is that, in the past, the state was on your side in the fight for privacy. Today, it sides with Big Tech and whoever offers it the most data to conduct its own privacy violations, or pays our elected officials the most.

It’s a bit overwhelming when giant, unchecked and unaccountable monopolies and your own country, both with almost infinite resources and legal ways to do whatever they want with impunity, gang up on you at the same time.
