Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

For me, it's mostly the principle of the thing. It is none of a company's business what I do and where I go and what I buy, and the more smart devices you have, the more information they can gather.

You can't stop it, but personally, I see no reason to make it easy for them.

Why can't you stop it? LineageOS for your phone, Linux at home, cash at stores.

People can stop them, and it's not actually that hard.
