| I feel like this is a false choice. Let's add one actor to this. Google. Are you free not to use Google? What does that 'choice' mean? I don't mean 'I use duck duck go'. I mean, you don't use or touch anything that Google provides. How much of the internet just disappeared for you? Are you 'free' not to use Google in this context? Your comment also dismisses the very real reality that you have very smart people, tricking you into playing with these services all day. Do you not accept this? Do you also believe that advertising doesn't work on you? Like most modern problems, the issue isn't simple and the solution isn't simple. Before you reply, I predict your response will include some form of 'I don't use these, never have and never will'. Great! I applaud this. How many people in your life do? Is it a majority? Are the majority of people in your life participating in something that you are now 'blacked' out from? Is removing yourself from the experience the best way to engage in the solution? |
