Lol? Way to discredit yourself as a clueless fucking rube. “I work in the industry and I take everything my employer says at face value” is not going to convince me bucko.

Why don’t you start talking about Apple’s third party ad service servers if you think you know where all the data is going? They leak everything even if they don’t officially retain stuff. It’s all theatre for employees and regulators and the EU.

Apple is still an ad company they just want to cordon off their “private ad system” with their VPN products and hide my email shit. Don’t trust Apple at all myself

Apple is only promoting themselves as a privacy company to try to get VPN customers to move to their iCloud plus and shit. It’s like Micro$oft moving into open source. I really don’t think it’s ever wise to take a company’s philosophy seriously it’s just a way to manage customer and employee expectations temporarily.

What you’re able to request from these companies officially is just the tip of the iceberg. The point is that between phone numbers, email reuse, google analytics etc with fingerprinting, and operating system telemetry, a complete picture is assembled of users.

If you’re not looking for arguments and instead approaching things from understanding surveillance maybe my statements will make sense now.

I take it you mean Douglas Leith who is the first result?

Doesn’t have anything to do with Microsoft and Apple’s market share on PC which is what I was thinking of.

Besides, it wasn’t like I was saying Google’s mobile telemetry is less invasive on Android, where they compete with Apple for being as creepy as possible. IIRC windows phones haven’t taken off

Whataboutism? Where did I say this makes what Google is doing better? They all work together. God you people are dense.

Microsoft and Apple absolutely are ad companies lmfao.

Just imagine what Microsoft and Apple are getting thru telemetry

One lady I know called it “haunted as fuck”

Isn’t matrix supposed to be end to end encrypted and all that? Your old posts won’t even be visible to someone who takes your account IIRC.

Lol disregard my last comment about the Google News trick they made it worse. FFS

There needs to be a move to model more like Invidious where there is a database. Youtube’s got a helluva lot more to index and it’s managed. The account tokens thing was a bit unserious.

In the meantime if you need rss, try this:

https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=site:twitter.com/benjaminnorton

just swap out the name.

you have to paste the URL into an archive website lolz unless u want to login. very cumbersome & no retweets. i like having a retweet free RSS tho, no overlaps

also there are mastodon mirrors of twitter accounts and stuff that can be done

anyways, the site SUCKS. this should have been something to hold us over while people come to their senses and leave

You’ll hear about it thru the grapevine. I’m not talking about it on reddit sorry

Mostly, but I don’t want Twitter to take further measures!

Shhhh let them think it died 🤫

Do I make money off blogging? Not by shitposting about people online, or explaining to people why shows they listen to are drivel. For instance I went into the archives of a war show someone recommended and looked up what they were saying about Ethiopia around the time their PM got banned off facebook.

I have published some stuff which I guess constitutes working in writing articles but that’s not how I make a living primarily.

I’m just a hater on my own time mainly, saves me the effort of listening to bad shows by immediately finding their flaws lolz

Well yea I’m clearly in agreement with ya since I only told OP this due to them expressing a worry abt privacy, they deserve to know. I almost began shoving instructions for switching to Linux down their throat haha
