pro tip guys. If you want to stay slightly safer with youtube/twitter/reddit . use the so called alternative frontends.
For twitter you have: Nitter
For youtube you have: Piped
For instagram you have: Bibliogram
and so on.
These rarely demand that you "log in". Youtube uses some code to profile your mouse movements, it uses google tags to track cookies and what not. Something which these alt-frontend sites doesn't do.

Every conversation in our offices is recorded and transcribed. Working here is 100% like in north korea. Talking about such certain memes publicly could literally make me lose several security clearances. The cameras have facial detection and log the emotional signature too. So I try to stay safe from spicy convos.

facebook is basically a massive DARPA project that was previously called LifeLog. I have acccess to certain API's to literally shut off peoples
"smartlights" inside their home. Just ask yourself, home come all these "smart devices" stop working when internet goes off?
My biggest breach so far has been literally talking to a guy through his google home device. It spooked him hard though. Apparently he didn't know human voices could speak directly through it. But it was pretty funny ngl
Also; youtube uses a certain social point system to decide how it should treat you. If you are undesirable you will be recommended less useful videos and more "brainrot" content such as tiktok react videos. If your points are too low your channel will never show up on recommendation feeds. I was personally involved in implementing this social points and personal ranking system. We share our profiles with all the FANG companies. So if you misbehave there your channel might be ghosted here anyway.
We are now making lowpoint users have slower video buffering too.
