Technofascists want everything you have for their use. AI steals your artists, writers, academics works. Surveillance capitalism wants to live invisibly inside your world to report to others. The majority of our dozy fuck public is wholly complicit.

Literally everything about this is disgusting.
At this point, I feel like its gone from "these companies are disgusting kissing up to the orange one" to "if they don't go, they're risking being on the receiving end of a massive company ending lawsuit/cancel war from the right and his Orangeness."
Both are disappointing and I'd rather go elsewhere, but the second is far more dystopian and probably more reflective of the current state of things.
Apple is one of the few companies whose cult I think could rival MAGA.
Tim Cook gets no brownie points from me for sucking up to 40-whatever-number-he-is.
Cowardice is a poor excuse when the people in question are ultra powerful, ultra rich, and sheltered from any and all harm from these traits.
Fuck em. These are trash people.
Behold my collection of tamed "powerful" people.
While the EU are investing in self hosted, open source technologies to get away from the US, the UK is doing the opposite.
Story of the UK in general.
Not all is green in the EU, we're fighting yet another attempt to read our private messages.
It's getting tiring hearing about the constant attacks on privacy and encryption around the world from the UK, US, EU, and AUS. The villainous wealthy elite parasites just want all of our data to sell to each other, and apparently, ethics can go hang.

I know. It's not only an invasion of everyone's privacy but also pretty fucking unworkable. Hopefully people in charge will realise just how unworkable it is in time. However...Guestures at the UK and OSA
That's Tim Apple
All of these people are fucking traitors, and we will not forget their groveling.

It's only conspiracy theory that rich people meet and decide about the world.
Ohh, look, a list of companies to disinvest from.
Boom beep bop 💥
They should stay the fuck out of my country. Bloody parasites.
Unfortunately they're the royal family and it would upset a lot of people if they were sent away.
These guys make my skin crawl. But the main guy also makes my skin crawl.
Clinging to daddy's coattails.
Please please some just them all please
