Initially I thought this comment was threaded under the "my cat is my rubber duck" comment which made it much worse.

To be fair, they didn't lie.

Well how do you combat that if you are in a household or shared network with others who aren't privacy conscious?

I had considered that, but that would mean they are collating and amalgamating data coming from a single IP, which is almost as bad as listening to my microphone. Both are data gathering without my permission.

It's true that Google is now a pile of shit for targeted searching of a topic, but if you just searched for any claim like "biden convicted documents" I'm sure you would at least not get a list of articles confirming the lie.

EDIT: I just searched the above and it's just a long list of "biden won't face charges", "no charges for biden" and even some "trump falsely claims biden was convicted" already

Whenever I see some moronic term like "Stop Woke" it just translates in my mind to "Stop Education".

I know these guys are trying to morph "woke" into some negative term, usually with some racially charged undertones, but it will always be synonymous with "englightened" to me.

Are they genuinely trying to stifle education, or is it all just racist bullshit?

I'm not so sure. I'm interested in this thread because I had a recent issue like this. I barely use Instagram, hadn't booted the app for a month or something, only have it to support my SO's art account. Never comment/DM, just likes. Had a lengthy in person conversation about tattoos and the idea of getting them at current location. I didnt do any searches on my phone or any other device for that matter. Don't have any tattoos, or ever look at that content on insta (only follow art and wildlife photography accounts). Booted up Instagram that day and was getting purely adverts for local tattoos studios on my feed. Checked my permissions, all disabled. The only explanation I have is that it's somehow still listening. That can't possibly be a coincidence.

I continue to find it odd that in this day and age, with all the information at our fingertips, someone can lie on one TV channel and someone will believe it without even so much as a quick Google to fact check.

He died on May 9th. Weirdly late article about it.

What/where is this view?

True, but considering the numerous other crimes he's committed haven't taken him down yet, I'm not so hopeful.

That arguably makes it worse! Thanks for the correction though.
