    No, it is Meta and these companies fault, but I focus on things I can actually control. Just spewing the party line default Lemmy opinion of “capitalism is the problem, blah” doesn’t do anything to solve the problem.

    Educating people so they understand how the surveillance works, and explaining that there are alternatives, actually gets us closer to a solution.
