    And the worse thing is, because the internet is so centralized now (dominated by just a few companies) people have almost nowhere to go back to. The worst thing tho, is how a lot of people simply don’t care. They would rather keep the very slight convenience they have over getting rid of these corrupt companies.

          The essential liberty is being able to use a device you own how you choose to use it, and not the rules for its use being dictated remotely by a giant corporation.

          The thing is, like the person I was responding to was pointing out, most people don’t give one shit and don’t pay attention to moves like these, because they prefer the convenience over caring about lack of personal agency in the equation.
