Lemmy has taught me that Firefox is the way

TikTok is Chinese spyware. Chrome is American spyware. Anyone in their right mind should stop using both.

I hear this all the time. I have this conversation on the regular.

Them: "Oh you think Tik Tok is spyware?"

Me: "yes"

Them: "I'll have you know so is Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Microsoft, and all the big American companies too"

Me: "Yeah, that's why I don't use them"

Them: gasp "you're just paranoid bro are you a drug dealer or something?"

Me: "no, I just like my privacy. You probably wouldn't like it if some guy was following you keeping tabs about everything you do either."

Them: "well I've got nothing to hide"

Me: "maybe the next person in power might see your current and past beliefs illegal"

Foreign spyware is stealing jobs from hardworking American spyware.

That’s America spyware. I have standards. /s

"But at least is LOCAL spyware 😎"

Anyone who even compares a for profit corportation to the world's largest hostile militaristic dictatorship is an idiot. Both bad, but on completely different scales.

God when the whole Tiktok thing in Congress was going on nobody wanted to hear that their favorite big tech social media app was already selling information to China; had been caught doing so multiple times; and had never stopped despite promises and threats of prosecution the next time.

Android phones looking nervously around.

Media platforms are beyond spying. You have nothing to offer.

It's all about controlling information and feeding you what you need to see.

Anyone using Firefox is a W to me.

My brother in Christ I use Firefox

Jokes on you I don’t use either ^i ^use ^discord ^and ^windows ^instead

Chinease is an enzyme, but I don't know what it does.

I only use true blue American spyware

You're not getting it. TikTok is crude, targeting anything that comes in its way, like a shotgun.

Google is like a sniper rifle, that is also a shotgun.

Now, which would you prefer, the shotgun, or the sniper rifle that is also a shotgun.

tok bad

It comes from chy-nah

My opinion on TikTok: always put the first cross in the middle

Remember, when American corporations harvest your private data, that is a good thing.

When foreign countries, that's bad.

This post was brought to you by your friendly Google. Where we will sell your data to any one and every one because we love money.

Edit: Words are important

I use LibreWolf (and don't use Tik Tok)

That's why Google Ultron exists m8

Librewolf, MullvadBrowser and Tor Browser are the way.

firefox is full of bullshit now.

Whataboutism
