“if we give our data to companies, the wealthy will rule.

If we give our data to governments, we will end up with some form of authoritarianism.

Only if the people keep their data will society be free.

#Privacy matters because it gives power to the people.”

— Carissa Véliz, “Privacy is Power”

@_elena@mastodon.social @Sunny@slrpnk.net From a privacy point of view you are often best off with a web site rather than an app (using, say, a browser like Mull). Not trying to oversimplify a somewhat complicated situation, but it is something I am trying to figure out as I try to map out a future which is more based on F-Droid and the like than the more closed alternatives.

@soaproot @_elena @Sunny Agreed. I use almost no apps. Everything via browser. The companies are always pushing their apps, but I just say NO!
