minus-squarecum@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up36·10 个月前Yeah I can see why people weren’t using it lol. Google is entirely the person they’re trying to hide from.
minus-squarexe3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 个月前Yeah voluntarily using a VPN from Google (the largest tracking and Adtech company), is like voluntarily seeking out Mob “protection”
minus-squareJojo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 个月前Reasonable when the alternative is literally getting mugged on the daily?
minus-squareyoumaynotknow@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 个月前I would argue that you could negotiate with muggers much easier than with mobsters.
