Ummm no? If moneyed interests want it then it happens. We have absolutely no control over whether it happens. Did we stop Recall from being forced down our throats with windows 11? Did we stop Gemini from being forced down our throats?
If capital wants it capital gets it. :(
😳 unless we destroy capitalism? 👉🏾👈🏾
The only problem with destroying capitalism is deciding who gets all the nukes.
Capitalism is just an economic system, I'm not sure what nukes has to do with it. It's not like billionaires directly own them, and we have to distribute the "nuke wealth" to the people or anything lol
Couldn’t we have a good old fashioned butlerian jihad?
In the US, sure, but there have been class revolts in other nations. I’m not saying they lead to good outcomes, but king Louis XVI was rich. And being rich did not save him. There was a capitalist class in China during the cultural revolution. They didn’t make it through. If it means we won’t go extinct, why can we have a revolution to prevent extinction?
Use Linux and don’t have any of those issues.
Get off the capitalist owned platforms.
