I am fucking scared of the mass surveilence nightmare direction that the internet and the world as a whole is going towards... C2PA, france hacking itself into citizen phones, the UK anti encryption law, EU's chat control, etc. Im also sick of and hate the "you will own nothing and be happy" mentality that corpos try to push. I dont wanna know how the world will look like in 5-10 years.

It’s sad, 10-15 years ago it was as simple as Adblock :/

Now it’s nearly unavoidable and/or requires quite a few changes to your native device to make it more secure

Yeah, for all of Jobs' "vision" cell phones were really just a way to profit of of free information.
