Hi there,
I’m currently going through some significant changes in my life. I’ll be making a professional transition soon by leaving Paris for a more rural area, but I won’t bore you with all the details.
My issue is that I really value my privacy and dislike big tech companies like gafam. To protect myself, I use Pihole and only allow an old phone to have access to meta products.
I recently caved in and reactivated my old Facebook and Instagram accounts to help with advertising, along with using a platform similar to Hootsuite to streamline things. When responding to private messages on Instagram, I use Aeroinsta to block ads and telemetry.
I’m managing okay so far, but I’ve seen the success some people have on TikTok and feel tempted to create an account. The thought of it turns my stomach, though.
If you’re in a similar situation where online communication is vital, how do you navigate it? Have you found any alternative apps for TikTok like Aerosinsta ?
I’d really appreciate hearing from you and getting some insights. Thank you for your input.
Doing anything online that requires you to break strict anonymity… breaks your anonymity, hence your privacy. The two should be separate subject matters, but the corporate surveillance model ensures that if anything can be traced back to you, your privacy is as good as gone.
You say you do Facebook… There’s your answer.
