I choose not to use Amazon. I choose not to use Facebook.
Very difficult to not interact with Google...
I choose not to use Verizon... however COMCAST is TERRRIBLE and along with Verizon, they have shut down every mom-and-pop ISP and are responsible for the wholesale elimination of robust, in-place copper from the consumer and business markets.
Senator Warren, please add Comcast\Verizon to this list.
That would get my vote... either that or slapping Ajit Pai for me next time you see him. Thanks.
- 908087 8y agoDo you somehow choose to avoid everything hosted on AWS? How do you avoid the wider societal effects of Facebook, and how do you avoid their collection of data on you via third parties?
- chmielewski 8y agoNo I don't (can't) avoid everything hosted on AWS. That's RMS-level commitment. I just don't use them in my work or for projects, and I don't use their marketplace. I don't avoid the "societal effects" of facebook, I just don't/won't/haven't had a profile. It's not like I would boycott an event if their only RSVP/invite/info page is on facebook, more like voting with my feet when it comes to signing up for and/or utilizing their platform.
