Not the point here. Using it in a commercial environment for free was a violation of the terms, now it’s not anymore.

I’m 100% pushing nothing but Signal. It’s the easiest one that brings with it a genuine mental switch. I like to assume that after such a transition it will be easier to look at anything else down the line, say if Meta buys it or some other dystopian shit.

Sounds like a javascript issue. Privacy Badger has been pointless for a while btw, it’s superseeded by uBlock.

I know it was a great attempt at humour on my part.

From an ethical standoint any earnst attempt at upholding privacy is equally valid. Past the technical necessity, you should probably look at those tools from any ulterior motives standpoint, or path toward a potential future monetization.

On this front, Telegram is clearly shit, Signal is centralized and nothing prevent it from turning “evil” and starting to charge money.

Ideally you’d need complete open sourceness to start getting your feet into ethics, possibly also some political statement beyond some bland “free speech” stance.

The privacy apps have been blocking Discord for many years.

The what?

The question says “for my phone”.

Also by your logic why use a PC, just don’t use the internet at all.

Ethic pertains to the morality of ones action. Think of murder, as a generally agreed unmoral act, or sharing freely as a generally moral act.

Think of it as the market growing or falling, but in a context where this does not really benefit you personally.

I know it sounds really convoluted but believe or not, that’s what humanity used to run on.

(Also Briar can make a completely decentralyzed network relying on connecting phoner directly and boucing the messadge around, It’s almost a must have if you are, like, trying to organyze when the government shut down the internet and stuff.)

And that’s fine!

Is this fake? Possibly. Will people other than scammers see this and relate? Also possible.

Still a better wage than Pascal’s.

You are doing great, at 17 every single classmate of yours is jet to become an actual thinking human, many never will.
