Article doesn't mention this, but Silicon Valley has a very intimate and very lopsided relationship with everybody at an individual level. It's constantly spying on you, censoring what you want to say, and trying to introduce you to new things and people whether you like it or not. Of course people are going to hate it, it's an abusive relationship. The onus is on silicon valley to step back and respect everybody's boundaries.
- ncpa-cpl 4y agoSomething I recognize, when I talk to those born after the mid 90s, is that some of them get a large amount of anxiety from social media. Blurring the separation between online/real life/personas.
- colmvp 4y agoNo one forced my friends or people I pass by to use any of the products provided tech companies. Hell, most of my friends don't care about privacy or being tracked online, or having their information shared amongst other entities. How many other devs here have had conversations with others about Net Neutrality (back in the day) or Privacy/Security and had people pat you on the head and said okay but let's move on? I recall people just not giving a shit when I talked about the ideal of Diaspora. Or choosing Open Source products that gravitate towards being transparent about what is actually being put into the software, including the type of telemetry being recorded. If I sound jaded, it's because I am. The community chooses what it chooses. At some point the onus is on us, even if it means abstaining (hence why I stopped using Facebook over a decade ago).
