Antoine’s argument is still very naive and short sighted.

Only because some corporations are linked to fascism, does not make the technology inherently fascist.

If these links are an issue, we should also all stop using Microsoft and Google, because they offer Isreael computing power, and thus every service is now supporting genocide. So if you are that user, all fine, enjoy an off-grid life. But don’t pretend to be better, if you still rely on those companies in the first place.

I agree that the corpos being linked to fascism doesn’t make the technology fascist, but plenty of people are switching from MS and Google for that among other reasons. Acting like any interaction with these companies is just as bad as going all in is completely incorrect. All small acts of resistance add up and are important, even if you can’t totally avoid a company that is causing harm. Taking a bus is not as harmful as driving a car just because they both use fossil fuels.
