Their business model is man in the middle…

That’s a decision for each server operator tbh.

Some allow it, some don’t find the one that fits your needs. That’s the beauty of fediverse.

ohh wow that nice lady is just another regime whore representing owner class’ interests

There was a guy who helped indigenous people in I think Ecuador against chevron…

Ever since then chevron used us courts to harass him and essentially ruined his life.

These stories rarely make national news for a good reason.

They are supposed to be tell you what will happen if you you hurt the owners or their dogs.

It is a loaded statement… Which part hurt YOU specifically?

None of the other phones have proper security architecture

Plex has more apps support. But yeah I can’t wait for the day where I can move over.

Well plex can’t be run without it pinging the mother ship…

Plus, they can’t figure out that you are downloading Linux iSO 🐸

I am talking about ISP selling your traffic for marketing data.

You are talking about state actor hunting you down.

Different threat model.

You are not hiding from NSA within US or other westoid regimes.

They have legal right to do whatever they want. An individual has no chance

They have to come around it themselves.

I just plant seed, they come back once they are ready to have the adult discussion.

it took years to move my friends into privacy focused product. with each new fiasco one or two would reach out.
