    I’m not sure this is the right mindset to have. Sure you can isolate yourself for a while but at some point your bank will use this shit. Your doctor will send you a message via their orgs website. Your grocery store will charge you obscene prices if you don’t use their app. The Internet has not been an optional utility for many years now.

        I wasn’t implying to accept it. I would say actively resisting it, complaining to the companies that utilize it, elect reps that will implement useful regulations is better. To just hide in a corner of the Internet doesn’t accomplish much though.

          It’s true. I’m sorry I definitely said we should all hide in the corner. I should have probably have not said that using real words that actually came from me and have not been inserted into my fucking mouth by some finger wagging bystander looking for a soapbox to well-akshually from.
