Did I mention that the data broker industry must be destroyed?

@evacide it's not a paywall. It's a mailwall. Sorry but I'm out.

@tim_lavoie @slashdottir @evacide nicee! Anyway I've already gone thru the post, and tho I don't live in the USA it's pretty worrying. Because it's basically an "all your data are belong to us" kind of policy. I have my crypto keys saved on an American cloud server. So I guess from now on we'll have to be politically correct online and use crypto for our private communications.

@UnSimpleTatin @slashdottir @evacide Haha, I'll stick with Signal for now, thanks!

Also not in the US, but I'm sure we have our own plague of data-selling locusts.

@MxVerda @evacide I know I could use any of the dozens of paywall-evading sites there are, but I have no patience to use a sucker mail and go on thru the process of confirmation and whatever jus to read something that just gives me positive feedback, because just by reading the headline I can figure out pretty well what I'm about to read.

@UnSimpleTatin @evacide huh? I just meant the name of the website

@MxVerda @evacide well I was hoping for a read but the mailwall stopped me in my tracks. But yeah, now I think about it the name speaks for itself.
