uBlock Origin's volunteer team will no longer chase Facebook's shifting ad-detection tricks, calling it a 'disgusting anti-user site.' Here's what that means for your feed.
Do you really, honestly not understand it though? FAANG are the most valuable companies on the planet. They just blatantly bribe governments around the world (but especially the US) to leave them alone. Or they spend billions hiring lobbyists to protest it.
And the vast majority of their users obviously don’t care. Virtually everyone I know uses Facebook on a regular basis, and yet I don’t know a single person that uses the Fediverse. And when I tell them about it they act like I’m some sort of weird outcast or conspiracy theorist. People who don’t care don’t pressure politicians to fix it.
I should clarify. I don’t understand why it’s been tolerated for as long as it is. I do understand why it happens, but I don’t understand why it’s allowed to happen.
