Here’s a couple of genuine questions people should be asking themselves rn:

What Big Tech products do I use, and how much of my data do they control?

Why do I use them? Why am I loyal to their brands?

Does this product actually best suit my needs, or is it only habit and inertia?
Like this is why they have so much power. This is why we’re in free-fall toward fascism right now.

It’s not just that Americans can’t extricate their lives from Big Tech products in most cases. It’s that they don’t *want* to. And I don’t know what can be done about that. I’m struggling myself.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books!
