Well it’s just as bad but in a different way.

Big cooperations may not respect me as an individual, but they have a self-preserving interest, a brand image to loose, and are checked by privacy watchdogs.

A Lemmy I stance can be run on any PC in some anonymous guys basement; there really no way of telling.
