@Onemanshowoff @Drawsputin Holy shit. Um... I guess I really was ignorant to all this shit. Maybe I was focusing down on showing off to people around me.
That is genuinely terrifying, but I don't know what I can do and what that means for the future. I don't want to go down being paranoid thinking Google wants to kill me just because I said "Hey I love Joker"
Maybe that's why I don't think about this stuff, because I always think it's hopeless and that we're all slaves and blah blah blah.
Honestly don't worry about it too much. I mostly brought it up as a joke; all we an do is laugh really and mock it.
It's just always good to be self-aware about these companies and how shady they are. Makes you re-think their intentions whenever they act virtuous or sniffing their own farts for how progressive they are.
We can still use their services; it's where our audiences and friends are after all. But because they hold so much power and can always go the way of Tumblr, it's always good to support and use alternatives in case things go really bad.
Alternatives, for example, like Newgrounds! :D
@Onemanshowoff @Drawsputin I've tried to be all big brain and EXCLUSIVELY use these alternatives but more people just use the popular stuff because it's most convenient. It's weird cause I wasn't as screwed over as everyone else, just all these stories had got me really paranoid.
Just, how can the people running this corporations fall under deaf ears?
Thank fuck people are vocal enough to not let things get bad .-.

Maybe a few hours, but spread apart across three days. Wrote it during my slow work hours when I need something to pass the time.

"tech monopolies turning society into a censorious, nightmare dystopia."
Um
Where was I where I missed that?

Dude, tech monopolies are evil. They make billions, so they get away with pretty bad stuff regarding privacy and censorship.
-Supreme Court questioned the Facebook CEO for privacy concerns and political manipulation by Facebook.
-YouTube de-platforms channels and makes videos invisible, not just for swearing, but for use of words like "nazi" or "racism"; doesn't matter the context if it's for news or education. It's fine when the big corporate channels do it though.
-Google has no problems with communist countries like China censoring their search engine. They constantly get sanctions from different countries for privacy and data protection cases. They once removed "Don't be evil" from the company's code of conduct.
-Twitter shadow bans people with no warning; I've been shadowbanned from ever appearing in suggestions and my art is always marked sensitive no matter what.
