Well I think that saying the main threat is their negligent practices is downplaying the situation when they literally have the CIA camped out in their HQ like any US tech company. The US is the principal cyberattack force in the world not only taking shit down, deniably, plus physical penetration like torturing people and cutting undersea cables, they get coins like 15 years later if they have to, no they're running most of the Tor nodes too
How is the main danger from Meta and Google that they're just transparent? They're malefactors. There is strong albeit circumstantial evidence that Meta and Google have been physically sabotaging their African ISP competitors in the pursuit of their offshore cable encirclement projects. They directly cut people off from services like email for inscrutable reasons - doesn't take being an ICJ judge. You can get cut off from regular acct services, cloud rentals, & the monopoly marketplace that much of the internet subsists on, and they will always be reimbursed bc they are backed by US inter-agency racket + finance + M.I.C. to the point where it is necessary to consider Google and other western tech companies as central arms of the people driving the worst shit in the world. Who gives a fuck about the Russians? The Russians aren't the ones trying to impoverish the entire globe. They've never been offered a buy-in to the neocolonial system. Google literally represents the preeminent threats to life on earth and is personally, invasively running illegal psychological experiments on you. They are going to exterminate every fucking squirrel. GOOGLE IS LITERALLY A MORE EFFICIENT THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE THAN THE THIRD REICH (in relative manpower terms, like number of kills per employee) IT MUST BE DESTROYED
US tech companies are literally operating with treasure secreted away by the Japanese imperialists. The purpose of a system is what it does (infinite human torture).
