Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Privacy in big tech is not driven with the mindset of "it's better for the user", but with "it's better to cover our ass legally".
Except it isn't. Companies openly flagrantly get caught violating your privacy again, and again.
And the legal cost to do so is always, ALWAYS LESS than the profit made violating your privacy.
Privacy protection in America is dead.
Glad I live in Europe where a company gets sued for hundreds of millions for violating privacy
Wow a euro brag. Never seen that one before \s
But just to be clear Social Media is a trillion dollar industry in Europe. Hundreds of million dollar fines are still not enough.
Oh did I say millions? Decided to make a Google search. Last time we did this META had to pay 1.2 billion €
