I may try to be brave and actually attend these. But I need real reasons (not just “the expansion of mass surveillance tools like this erode democracy and push us into fascism. Destroy all billionaires”)
The water usage thing is basically debunked. The people dont care what data they are actually storing. All I really would have is, land use, noise, and power consumption. Maybe about how theyre recording you at every turn with flock? Which any factory being built would do the same. I just feel like I can’t actually make an argument in front of normie’s who dont really realize what’s at stake here and have zero clue about technology in general.
They’re doing data, art and work theft, leading many people to get totally unemployed, making the electronic components prices explode, making many programs and operative systems less secure and performant (thus destroying the economy), perpetuating inequalities, destroying the energy system across the world, creating an enviromental crisis (water, biodiversity, pollution, garbage…), and they steal our data to spy on us and sell it to the best price… All that while everything gets worse and worse for us. They’re a fucking leech.
