When most of us didn't realize the huge amount of information flowing on the Interne yet, we used to condone some monopoly enterprises to grow bigger (and maybe they have already become too big. sometimes they sell users data or put ads on webs). then we paid for our ignorance, those giants can sell everything including the users data in order to gain economic benefits.
but there are still many people who don't realize that the above situation is very dangerous. there are still many people even dont know fedi yet.
all we can do is to introduce fedi to them, and let them choose which they like: to be free or to be betray(ed)/sold, this is a question which worth to think about.
what dangerous situations are you specifically talking about?
some companys sold users data secretly for economic benefits. so sometimes people receive nuisance calls or spam.
does anyone else get spooky political commercials on youtube?
no I have the uBlock origin addon.
that's great. but also i don't think it solves the problem.
what could solve the problem is a VPN + ublock + youtube frontend.
i think that would be perfect
