> any kind of "everything app" should be seen as captivity

When I lived in China I found I couldn't socially exist without their everything app; WeChat. Even putting aside the privacy horrorshow, the power TenCent have because every other company effectively has to transact through WC is terrifying.

When FarceBook tried to do the Libra/ Diem payment integration, it was obvious who they were emulating. Very glad it failed.

#DataisPower and we are giving it away

We are giving it to huge cooperations that are not bound to do us good

Data is the base of the influence tech companies like #x / #twitter , #Meta, or #Tencent have on us

By giving these data away we are providing the ropes that binds us

By using the technologies we are participating in weaving net of #disinformation

We are providing the data for these systems of #manipulation and are caressing the devices of #authoritarianism
