  • Even if you find an alternative it might not help you if not all the others would follow, too, and you could find the type of content and contacts you currently have in FB on that other platform.

    Same problem with many social networks that became toxic, but that can’t be replaced easily, because in other, better places, you might not find the same content and contacts.


  • Me neither, but I guess the tracking will also take place when you just browse the internet and visit websites, that have Google Ad Tracking technologies implemented (which could be the majority of websites). Tracking and Ad-Blockers like uBlock might help a bit, though.

    The specifics are complex—these are the algorithms that ingest all the data signals you give off when browsing the internet on any device, some based on who you are—device, IP and credential identifiers, but also the sites you visit and apps you use as a map to be followed and analyzed.



  • Correct, the main selling point for music streaming services is about having one place where you can find all your favourite music. It’s acceptable if you don’t find all the Star Wars stuff on Netflix - you can either watch other shows or movies instead or subsribe to Disney until you’ve seen it all, but a music streaming service with only the content of one or two major labels would probably be less attractive for many people, because they would only get a limited amount of music / artists. Also for the record companies it could mean higher cost (for maIntaining their own streaming service) and potentially lower profits.
