Big Tech keeps pushing the same line: "Privacy is dead. Just accept it. Fighting is pointless."
It pisses me off because it's not a fact; it's what they want us to believe so we stop resisting.
They say it in every interview and sponsored article, hoping we'll back down.
But check this:
Encrypted messaging apps like @signalapp are growing fast.
More people switch to privacy-centric browsers like @brave every year.
Courts keep ruling against mass data grabs.
Regular people are finally learning what cookies, fingerprinting and telemetry actually do - and they're not happy.
Privacy isn't dead. It's just bad for their ad revenue.
Don't buy the "it's too late" lie.
Install the privacy respecting browser.
Use a secure password manager (not LastPass 😆)
Pay a few euros for email and cloud storage provider that don't read your stuff.
Support the orgs that actually fight their crap in court.
We're still in this fight and we are winning.
Keep going.
I like @brave a lot and support them as much as I can, but man... person or team responsible for Dutch localization deserves a high five... in their face... with a chair... Please tell me who and why tf decided to even translate Brave Origin section in the settings?
Today we launched the community-requested Brave Origin: an optional, paid version of our browser that offers Brave's leading privacy protections and ad blocker without its extra features.
Origin is live now on desktop and Android, and coming soon to iOS: https://t.co/bMnPcRUzgN
Four decades of endless bureaucracy, and a single market that strangles competition.
Unity became centralised control, solidarity became wealth transfers, diversity became open borders.
Europeans deserve nations, not this supranational mess 🖕🏻
40 years since the EU flag was raised in front of our headquarters in Brussels for the very first time.
Twelve stars.
A single market.
Four decades of standing together for unity, solidarity, and diversity.
The symbol that fosters Europeans’ sense of community. 🇪🇺
@UK_Daniel_Card I love the fact that they call products you can buy on Temu "illegal". How the hell the dog poop bags I have recently ordered are illegal?
If we are talking about disappointments, perhaps look closer to home 😉 A 250-year friendship doesn't mean giving up the keys to our digital infrastructure and DigiD just to please Washington. Sovereignty goes both ways.
The United States and the Netherlands share one of the world’s strongest and most enduring partnerships, built on 250 years of shared values, innovation, and cooperation. We were disappointed by the Dutch government’s decision regarding the Kyndryl-Solvinity deal.

De Amerikaanse organisatie Ekō heeft een Palestijnse familie gevonden die eigenaar is van land waarop een illegale nederzetting is gebouwd en waar via Booking een overnachting te boeken is. https://t.co/LjhMUfOrx9…
