You are discussing two different things. Just because they can use cell data, it does justify additional needless spying.
At least with cell data there is veneer of that’s only way to do it. Here our dear corpo tech lords could just make a product that does [not] leak data but they chose not to… why do we pay for such treatment?
You are falling for daddy’s trick biggest trick…
Sure plebs have no political power but there are two things left: Personal direct action and organizing both as consumers and workers.
While with things like food shelter medical, not much choice left. With other products, people can vote with money. People can limit how much data they let out.
People can job hop, demand higher wage, this is mostly limited to older, higher paying folk but them doing this helps everyone.
Finally, organize as consumers and labour.
I see voting being pushed as solution, you can keep voting but don’t be naive haha
Funnily enough people who push voting as the only solution will down vote direct action posts into oblivion. I am starting to assume the poltiics crowds are indeed either bad actors, ie bots or shills.
Fascism is not holding [us] back… shit wages, healthcare and hi prices are tho
That’s the point… so your original statement does not carry much weight.
