If only there was some way to avoid Meta having access to all our information.
<...> all our information.
The fucked up thing is that just not using Facebook or other Meta services doesn't solve the issue. They track you across the web with unique fingerprinting even if never had an account with them and they also tie the data to you from people around you that might upload or share something about you to their services.
Agreed but starting with deleting Meta, X, Gmail, You Tube accounts, etc, would be an enormous step in the right direction.
the verge has a pay wall now??
Someone's gotta pay for those hexacore CPUs (yes we did get one).

It isnt a lot, but its weird that it happened twice
Time to start uploading cyriak stills
No way! Who'd have thought???
Well, that's the problem. Many people won't think about it until the data is hacked or used by law enforcement against them.
