«Google to delete search data of millions who used 'incognito' mode».

I really don’t get how you can use a #browser used to spy on you even during an “incognito” browsing session.

It’s ok #Google will delete those data now. It’s not ok with you using such software.

@mk uh ok, I got it. But you are still open to choose by yourself and getting educated to select which platform fits best you ethics. I know network effects will play their hand but it’s all under your own control in the end.

If I did it, anybody can do it.

@mk AFAIK #Mastodon is trying to fight this approach to social media engagement (you can see how favourite or boosts counters are hidden in your timeline).

[Maybe you replied to the wrong toot]

I see a lot of people believe there is no way to have #privacy online. Corporations have pushed so hard that many are persuaded and disillusioned.

Privacy-compliant alternative software exists and it's up to you to choose and promote it.

Tracking tools are not required but wanted technologies: it is not something inevitable inside a software.

When you see it that way, your approach to software change and you will also learn to love #ethical software as you know how to appreciate organic food.

@mastohost @aral @RyunoKi do you have any script you could share with us?

@aral @mastohost do you know you can periodically prune the image cache without breaking anything? The last release allows to enable it by the administration panel too.
Aral, I have to say… I was not expecting to see you using #AWS!
