    Privacy should never be treated as optional. Our photos and personal information deserve protection. Do you think a fine like this is enough to hold big tech companies accountable?

      Be that as it may, it’s still worth doing. Something is better than nothing.

    Fine is a plan B. Plan A should be user data encryption

        In my opinion solidpods is the answer to the question of how data user management & encryption can be solved

        But if your point is “everything’s backdoored & there’s nothing we can do” – my answer I’m sorry you feel this way, please take a good care of yourself, you deserve it
