@greyor I think it's simply appeasement to keep Kim happy until he gets around to dealing with him again.

So now that Hobbs & Shaw is out getting awesome reviews who else thinks Vin Diesel is probably at home raging? 😆😆😆

(Johnson and Vin hate each other)

@darylsun that's it yep 🙂

I use FF to so might be a add on or something 🤔

@isolategab thx for the follow!

I haven't really heard much from or about gab since they joined the fediverse.

Most instances have them blocked don't they? Can't say I've heard anything from them in here at least.

@darylsun with things like droplr you can rename the links.

@michel_slm I do use Siri and have a homepod, but I'm rethinking that 🤔

I don't trust Google or Shitbook at all but apple was supposed to be big on privacy.

Google has been temporarily forced to stop listening in on its users across Europe after leaked data sparked privacy concerns

@jonah I would advocate for invite only. The instance may grow a bit more slowly but it's quality over quantity.

@darylsun I was thinking the same thing. I'll just got my blogs on droplr and post links here. No need for a website anymore 🤔

@salsa20 @jj sadly this doesn't surprise me at all. Standard business procedure.

@temporal agreed. I guess we'll have to let it play it out until the truth comes forth.

@temporal this would also be something Shitbook would do to make congress happy and let them go ahead with libra and stop with new legislation and laws to force them to do this.

@temporal hmm. Well I'm not seeing any iron clad proof either way, but going by Shitbook's history of constantly lying through it's teeth to everybody since day 1 I'm going to er in the side of caution until it's 100% proven it's not real.

Even then I won't use it but you know lol 😂

@jj absolutely! CA is just the one that got CAUGHT.

It's like hackers. The best ones are the ones no one knows about.

@salsa20 that's awesome 😁

There's a good site for all alternatives to called

www.nomoregoogle.com

Someone in here posted it I can't remember who but excellent site.
😁

@one yeah for sure. Zuckertit and Shitbook are to big to fail now so it's even worse.

Congress was going to break up the company but Shitbook threatened to move to China and just do stuff anyway so they didn't.

The USA is so far from a democracy now it's sad. 🙁

@greyor for sure. I don't go anywhere near things made by the big 5, especially Shitbook.

Zuckerberg’s Facebook is reportedly working on a back-door content-scanner for WhatsApp, tantamount to a wiretapping algorithm - it will scan your messages before you send them and report anything suspicious.
