CEOs of all companies have done or said something shady/inappropriate/immoral during their lifetime. Let's collect and discuss alternatives!

Stop using anything anything you don't produce yourself or someone you know who is not shady in any way (implant a chip in their head to scan their brain for any shady thoughts or wrongdoings throughout their lifetime).

Alternatives to:

  • Every single OS
  • Every single software/hardware
  • Every single phone manufacturer
  • Every single car manufacturer
  • Every single construction company (move to a hut in the forest)
  • Every single farmer (stop eating vegetables and fruits)
  • Every single food producer (stop eating/drinking anything unless you produce it yourself or dig a well for water)
  • Every single everything

you do understand you live in a society of inter-operating humans, right? a certain level of privacy will only exist if you live on an island of yourself.

im not saying 'no' to privacy, just that we need to find happy mediums where conglomerates dont use our own information against us and we also dont live in a sealed off prison of our own making.
