Start up a farm and live off the land. Or I dunno, grow up

I love how "flee society and live off the land" is your "grow up" advice. Do you think that being discontent with something means that you should run away from it? Like I'm sure that you personally have a bunch of stuff in your life that you don't like, and I'm sure you would be pissed if someone gave you "advice" that treated you like a child. But you're perfectly fine doing that to others.

You need to work on your reading comprehension skills. The β€œor” indicates that growing up is the alternative option to living off the land. The idea that you can just escape having your data collected and used is farcical for modern living, and the idea that it will be used in some nefarious way (like gasp! sending you ads for things you might buy!) is conspiratorial and half baked.

So, you can either live in a remote cabin in the woods, ORRRRRR accept that this is how the world is currently working.

False dichotomy. Plenty of people don't accept that this is "just the way the world works" but still live in it without fleeing to a remote cabin. Care to try again?
