    Why does a corporation’s opinion of you mean anything?

    Because they don’t need your simpering sycophantic posting here. They got legal teams and lots of political protections.

    Why do you care if they care?

    Because they’re making society and the world worse entirely for profit and they’re also conditioning ignorant people like you to stan for them.

    You choose to use their products.

    In general, not as much as you think and when I have no choice to do so, that isn’t a choice, is it?

    Nothing is free, and if you don’t like them earning money by showing you ads, don’t use their products.

    You are a laughably pathetic bootlicker if you’re sinking to those thoughtless platitudes.

    Pollution happens whether or not an individual buys into the product. Erosions of personal legal protections happen when the lobbyists encroach a little more. “Vote with your wallet” does absolutely nothing at a societal level but I think you’re too willfully sycophantic to understand that.

      Yes. But not via Whatsapp, that’s all. It’s probably the least bad app they own

        That wasn’t the bootlicker’s argument. The full context of what he was arguing was “businesses doing whatever they want to make money is good actually and voting with your wallet is all you’re allowed to do no matter how systemic and societal consequences harm you.” galaxy-brain
