Can Nostr sway a Raging Hypocrite?
Jake Peterson of LifeHacker wrote an article
"Google Is an Even Bigger Privacy Nightmare Than You Think"
In which he describes the usual abuse cases like leaking corporate data or abusing children’s data without consent. But he ends the article with, "There's no getting away from it: Google is now everywhere, and we can only hope they are being as responsive and thorough as they claim in safeguarding our data."
No man, that's where you're wrong. LifeHacker chooses to have Google analytics on it's site.
From a DNS lookup, I can see, LifeHacker chooses to route emails to Gmail, which means you got your direct by-line contact [email protected] going to Gmail.
As a “Senior Technology Editor”, you make it seem like we have no choice. But there are, here’s just a few to scratch the surface:
Android → Graphene/Calyx
Chrome → LibreWolf
Gmail → Mailu
Google Docs → Cryptpad
Google Authenticator → KeePass XC
Google Play Store → F-Droid
I say, you have more power than you think. There’s an entire world out there of options and choices. And we do not have to sit by and take it.
And if you want Jake Peterson to get the message, I want you to tell him right here in the comments what technology alternative he should be writing about that ain’t on my list. Because if we make enough noise, he just might listen.
