The blank stares and annoyed if not downright condescending dismissal I get from normies when I express a preference for avoiding spyware, adware, and other socially acceptable (read: profitable for those who make the rules and own the politicians) malware is some of the worst gaslighting I've ever been subjected to!

But, like, do you have something to hide?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

Of course I do and so do you.

Only the 3,425 avant-garde photos I've taken of my penis

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 13 points 3 days ago

See, now I think the government needs to see that!

Sure, why not? (NSFW, obvs)

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 4 points 3 days ago

I don't know what I was expecting. Terabytes were probably a little too much to ask for. Here.

The hyper-normalization and gaslighting continues, and evolves.

2010: I'm getting commercial ads relevant to my interests.
- Yeah, right. As if you were so important that anyone would follow you through the entire internet.

2018: I'm getting commercial ads relevant to my interests.
- It's your own fault for not installing an ad blocker.

2026: I'm getting right-wing political videos in my feed.
- It's your own fault for taking an interest in rage porn.
