The ADL's job used to be to protect Jewish people from discrimination. Now, it's pretty obvious they exist to protect the policies of the Israeli government.
So if your government is current engaged in a slaughter, who would rather have on your side in the U.S. government? An apartheid-loving fascist or someone who might actually criticize your actions?
Yup. If your employer uses the, "we're all one big family" then you're in for a real bad time.
Because sooner or later, they're going to make you choose between their fake "family" and your real one.
The Kubrick stare was intended to show a character at peak madness. Now, we have a president who thinks it's a flex.

The AI hardware isn't for us. It's for Google and Microsoft, so they can steal your computer's CPU time and hard drive space so they can build their own personal Skynets. (Same thing with CoPilot, which requires 50gigs of your hard drive space. You're also paying for the privilege of being spied on, which is nice for them, I guess.)
" . . . giving Rednote access to their data as a show of protest . . ."
That's a special kind of stupid.
That coke-rush is just temporary and afterwards, leaves you feeling like this:
People were saying, "I grok Spock" long before Douglas Adams used the word.

I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.
I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.
It's also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:
Collect all your evidence into one large archive, upload it somewhere and make it known that if you die of anything other than natural causes, that information will become available to EVERYONE.
Read up on how "dead man's switches" work. If you don't send a signal online, log into a particular account on a regular basis, that sends the release signal.
This. Eventually, some billionaire will buy up BlueSky and make it shitty. It's much harder for one person to take over a defederated platform, spread out over hundreds of instances in several countries.
