At the end of the day, all these huge tech firms have left is to try and fuck with the people that know better and are looking to get off from under their thumb. Google is going to keep trying to break every workaround we use, so will Microsoft, Meta, Apple and every single ad-ridden and anti-privacy company out there.
However, just look around. People are waking up. The Lemmy communities just keep growing, more and more people are eliminating their mainstream social media and Google accounts. That fuck-up on Friday worldwide will have many companies reevaluating if it’s worth it to remain on Windows. In short, the internet revolution has already started, and it will hit critical mass at some point (5 years, 10 years, hard to tell).
This is the reason why so many companies are lobbying (which I see just as a pretty word for bribing) to scan before encryption and making it law. They know their golden egg goose is finally dying.
I finally got all my family and friends on Simplex, and they in turn are getting their friends onto it as well. I’m very happy with what I’m seeing.
