    The cool thing is, you can affect these people directly.

    Don’t use Meta products.

    Don’t use X.

    Don’t buy a Tesla.

    Don’t get Starlink.

    SpaceX is a conundrum since they aren’t really selling things directly to consumers, but still, for the most part here, people can vote with their wallets and their time. (Sadly they won’t, but they can).

      True with most things. Although facebook creates shadow profiles for everybody, through websites with the tracking pixels. It allows them to “market” toward people that don’t even have registered FB accounts. Diabolical stuff

        I always assumed they scraped people’s phones / address books / contacts to get info on people who never even use Facebook.
