Big Tech Hall of Shame

"Some of the biggest Big Tech use comes from supposed freedom products"

Uncensored

Hive is a Nostr competitor. But the entire platform is built on the lie that you’re uncensored.

Cloudflare sees

They say you own your identity, but yet they sell you the encryption keypair, and it’s served from a Cloudflare server. So the government can see the private key that you paid for, to do “uncensored” posting. Hive can fix it, please listen to me.

Local Keypair

Have your users create a keypair locally in your browser extension. Then assign the names you want to sell to the public keys, using the blockchain as DNS. This is how Session messenger already does it, and how Nostr should do it in the future. Because it would solve all Nostr security issues and raise money for the client devs. It could even use Bitcoin’s chain.

What the Zuck?

Privacy “guru” Rob Braxman’s WhattheZuck.net literally gives privacy advice on hiding from 3 letter agencies, location tracking, and EXIF data.

Google

While his site uses Google Analytics and relies upon Google Ad Syndication. Seriously bro, you gotta help the Google ad network because you’re that poor?!

AWS

And Brax.me, which is marketed as “privacy social media”, is hosted on Amazon, the CIA contractor.

Parting Words

These influencers and products only use Big Tech to sell freedom because they think they can get away with it and nobody cares. They only do it because you allow it. The change has to come from you in your choices, before they will change.
