What will happen?

▶ No.885872
I see it as hackers and modders and free software programmers become fed up with normies and brogrammers start filling up the industry with mindless apps that encroach on privacy they will start to push back with just general lulz behaviour. Just generally breaking shit apart or modding things to subvert them.
See Ashley Madison, or those dumb thots that wanted to make yelp for people.... just little by little as they push we shove back.
It will turn into chaos once the big fish come into play, but for now it's just "run around naked and laugh as you stab people" phase. There will come a time when we will need to unite against a common enemy and I fear that day. I hope it comes later than sooner, I kinda was nostalgic of all the mayhem I had on the chans.

You would have to change stadards and deep-rooted nihilistic/dumb/faggotic approach to the world that normal people inevitably have and will have. And think of them as of roaches, because they are roeaches, if they have mindset "I have done nothing wrong, nothing to hide etc".

Google does it from the main domain for their sites, and others could too. There already services that route ever,thing through 1 proxy so that the browser only sees 1 domain.

Nope, that won't happen either because there's a third option: checking out of the system or switching to platforms where they share the data directly with their friends, rather than using (((platforms))). Luckily with email, IRC, and other internet protocols the infrastructure is there and Gnu Social and Urbit provide new tools to accomplish what Zucc does, which is let you share your cat photos and rail for or against political figures and social causes.
You present a false dilemma. People will turn off their gadgets or seek alternatives as it becomes ever more clear that they're simply nigger cattle for some overlord who hates them, and they can be shown the way. Normies don't make trends, they follow them. Nerds set the tech trends even if the face of the wishes of billionaires. Did you know you can get Gnu Social on your phone?
