I mean, it could also stop impersonation…

I mean, its not like not having an account is gonna stop them from collecting data. I mean, if I just have one and post cat photos, and some non-controvertial stuff like “omg look at this cool phone that Apple/Samsung just released”, there’s really nothing they could use against me. I can still have secret Lemmy accounts.

These days, if you don’t have a social media account, you get marked as “suspicious” for some reason. I mean… ahem USA ahem.

I don’t wanna end up tortured in some CIA blacksite because I legitimately don’t have a (mainstream) social media account lol.

Am I crazy to want to have a mainstream social media account?

    Do you have any tangible proof that you get marked as suspicious in any system?

    Look at recent news of the USA. Shits getting very fascist. I suspect they are doing phone-checkpoints like some other authoritarian countries are already doing.
