#alttext for anyone that needs it:

A screenshot of a social media post by user 'ally' (@missmayn), platform unknown. Text reads, "how fucking stupid is it that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing all our data to sell us ads."

Ally seems to be asking a rhetorical question here, which may explain why they chose not to punctuate the sentence with a question mark. I don't judge.

@MostlyHarmless right? Somehow the commodification (whatever) of every second of our existence cannot be the ne plus ultra of mankind's achievement. But here we are. Societies supposed top echelon are rich off quantum level surveillance, while people trying to affect real societal change are shamed.... because an insane, syphilitic, reality TV -conman (widely known for molesting children) and his cabal of anti-intellectual, inbred, christianist-zealots are scared of knowing things, of course!
It is all so fucking stupid.

@MostlyHarmless They’re stealing all our $$, our natural resources, destroying the environment, sex trafficking….
They’re all about human bondage in service to them.

@MostlyHarmless SOMEBODY must actually BUY SOMETHING in response to these ads, otherwise there would be no ads.

So ... the people I blame are the people who buy stuff in response to spam.

JUST. STOP. IT.

@MostlyHarmless @paul_ipv6 The most Rube Goldberg overcomplicated theft contraptions just to see if they can Pokémon 100.000% of the data.

Blech.

It is impossible to understate how incredibly manipulative that process is.

I hope everyone remembers the Cambridge Analytica thing.
