Why we should collectively worry about Facebook and Google owning our data

I am so done with these rants while the hosting page has 16 potential trackers reported by Privacy Badger, including both Facebook and Google. If you are truly outraged, do something about it besides baiting me with even more trackers. Regulate yourself before asking governments and courts to regulate everyone else.

"Collective worry" is how you get the bystander effect.

On GDPR: Could Facebook users around the world not set their location to somewhere in the EU and/or use a VPN to connect through servers in the EU?

I feel like this focus on FB and Google is a misdirection campaign being run by the media conglomerates who are tied in with many of the service providers. Comcast, Verizon, etc. love keeping the public eyes off of them while them suck up our viewing and visiting information. Also, if FB and Google take a hit and can&#x27;t be the incumbent ad and marketing platforms then the providers will become enriched as advertisers flock to them. The providers hate competition. Just look at all the selection and competition we don&#x27;t have.<p>Yes, it&#x27;s important to know what FB and Google are doing but I think it&#x27;s hurting us by not focusing on ALL companies.

I never used facebook, and I&#x27;m 80% of my way to being off google - I&#x27;m not worried.
