I mean, its not like not having an account is gonna stop them from collecting data. I mean, if I just have one and post cat photos, and some non-controvertial stuff like “omg look at this cool phone that Apple/Samsung just released”, there’s really nothing they could use against me.

I don’t wanna end up tortured in some CIA blacksite because I legitimately don’t have a (mainstream) social media account lol.

God damn,it really is just people being xenophobic everywhere isn’t it?
I still agree with the above user it’s gonna get worse though, if xenophobia truly is the common factor climate change is going to fuck Europe.
That’s what it looks like to me. Italy too AFAIK.
