>not intentionall creating an entirely fake profile with fake friends and interests to mislead the data mining algorithms

Yes, there are limitations to that.

My Facebook is full of forum friends I'll never meet IRL

the problem with creating a fake profile is that they can still track habits

But, I have throwaway Google accounts just for the storage space from Google Drive, for example, or I use YouTube for streaming. I do not see what data they get from me, while I am using their bandwidth.

its not enough for a court of law, but if they notice person A and B are never online at the same time, but do do all the same things..

they can add that shit together automatically

i stoped using chrome a while ago

that shit si a spy program

Right. There have been cases in which such similar correlations have been used.

the google account i am using for this discord is my account number 200 or something lol

Anyway: What I meant is that there might be ways to still use what these companies provide for free, while avoiding to give them anything of value. That's all I'm saying.

And, of course they are trying to minimize that as far as possible.

Chrome is quickly going down the crapper even for people who didn't care about it spying on them

its a fools erand

From tims vid ....eewww

you will never hurt alphabet this way, even if you manage to convince everyone you talk too, which is not gonna happen, but even if you do, there just is not enough time in the day to talk to enough people to touch google like this

especially if you cant make it absolute, aka they gain NOTHING at all

Eh, that pic isn't repulsive, I feel neutral towards it

they will always get something

I am not talking about getting some movement off the grounds. It's something anyone can do for themselves.

I still use some Google services, and I am relatively certain that I am not giving them anything of value through my particular use.

For example, I haven't stopped using YouTube through MPV-YT, which is my current music player.

All I am doing is grabbing the stream, but I do not believe that Google gains anything from that. Some people, not saying you, seem convinced that the best way to boycott a company is to completely avoid using any of their products or services.

Alphabet Inc is just a company, if they get woke go broke often enough they might adjust

As someone who doesn’t like the Democratic Party I don’t think pointing out their time as an anti-black party is not a good way to change people’s opinion.

I am saying that this might not necessarily be the case, as there are steps you can take through which you prevent them from getting to what they want out of you.

i do wonder now

lets say

you take a video you upload on youtube

you can play it just fine

The democrat party is worse now as a counter to the Southern Strategy than they were as racists

but the data it plays in encrypted in such a way that its seemingly just random

all these companies need moeny

but you get an addon

As racists they gave us the new deal

that decrypts the live video while you watch it

Now they stand for nothing but virtue signalling

@Risotto is right

they will adjust
