The ultimate endorsement from that bowtie wearing clown!

I don't see this going wrong in any way shape or form.

That's a glowing recommendation of Signal. And a good reminder to donate. I'm doing it right now.

Celebrity/billionaire worship. Just no. It means their values are wildly erratic.

This would only be meaningful if it wasn't collected in the first place.

Reminder: this is the company that holds a monopoly on the internet and dictates web standards.

I need to understand why people still keep giving that man money. Willingly. It's mind boggling.

Whose fault is it though? I get that collective will is hard, but you as an individual have the power to move, organize, mobilize, whatever you want.

The company doesn't value you? Move. Why are you giving this company free labor?

For the "prestige" of being a ("anonymous") reddit mod? Give me a break. There's better things to do and be prouder of in life.

Stop giving this company time, money, and attention. And tell others to do the same. Otherwise, you're digging your own (and everyone else's) hole.

Yes, it's unfair, but it's an unfair system. So let's all do our part. And let's also organize and mobilize on that. Can't be done by continuing to feed it.

What's even scarier is that takeout is probably only the data they want you to see, or are legally obliged to share.

I would be willing to wager they have lots more on you that you're not even aware of.

Serious question: why does everyone in silicon valley have a god complex?

Fuck Google. Ruining the internet for profit.

Wait, what? A shitty Google product? Plagued by ads and spyware? No way!

As others have pointed out here, use Aurora Store or F-Droid.
