CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Natasha_Jay Apparently someone realized any US company can be ordered to supply information to any US government agency and be barred from even discussing they received such an order, let alone what information was shared...

@ShadowJonathan @OvertonDoors @redsad Oh, and even on YT, you can bet I run SponsorBlock turned to the max settings on all channels.

Again, you do not get to dictate what I view, **I** do. And while you're at it, keep the interaction reminders to yourself, as well as self-plugs and gargantuan intros and endings.

@ShadowJonathan @OvertonDoors @redsad I've basically stopped watching TV and listening to the radio, because these days it feels like there's 5 minutes of ads for each 5 minutes of content.

I get the important news the next day, at work. If it's important enough, people will be talking about it.

I only watch video and listen to music from sources that either have no ads by default (AKA my NAS), or where I can adblock them to oblivion.

And that same adblock is permanently turned on network-wide for all sites, it's IMO the only sane way to be online.

If it's an unskippable ad or a "we'll only let you see this if you pay is or let us track you" site, guess what, the information you're carrying is always available elsewhere.

You do NOT have a say on how I consume content, or what I'm exposed to when I consume it.

The more people realize that, the faster we'll get a better Internet for everyone.
