Bezos and Amazon own Whole Foods. They’re tracking us. I can’t go any damn site without seeing ads for amazon for stuff I searched for. Facebook and Google are in on it. It’s draining the money of Americans who are gullible to spending on stuff they don’t need.
Bezos owns Washington Post, which spits out fake news on the regular. Zuckerberg’s Facebook censors conservatives and is essentially a fake news aggregator. Google’s algorithms on YouTube censors conservatives. I can literally search for a conservative channel’s videos and I’ll see a reaction video by the Young Turds (pr0g darlings of YouTube) before I see the one I literally searched for.
This is what all young people see. Young Millennnials and Gen Z don’t watch news channels. They get it online.
The answers are in Antarctica.
Lol. Conservative Republicans are now not in favor of extensive marketing and advertisement. You guys get better everyday.

So amazon sellers use google, Facebook, Amazon, and MANY other tools and their technologies to sell you... and this is a conspiracy how?
This isn’t Amazon... it’s the millions of businesses that use Amazon’s brilliant platform and other tools to sell you stuff. Capitalism. Commerce. It’s fricking awesome.
Literally the same as getting coupons on the mail to your local grocery store for shot they
think you will buy based on your account data in their system.

Posts opinion on public message board.
Accuses people that respond of being "obsessed" with him.
You've been focusing narrowly on me today as you have done previously. There's lots of opinions on public message boards that I disagree with, but I don't focus and go after them, replying to multiple posts of theirs and dredging up post histories like you do. You're obsessed with me and it's weird.

Three articles on how to avoid being tracked online. You will have to avoid using all social media sites and certain other popular services like Gmail. Smart speakers like Alexa and Google Home are off limits.
You start by using a laptop running either Linux or a Windows 8.1 or earlier operating system. Tablets are verboten.
Then you add a VPN. You use Firefox or Brave as your browser. Some have made an argument for using a chromium browser like Chromium itself or Vivaldi without logging in to Google Services with appropriate add ons installed.
I mentioned that Windows 10, modern Mac operating systems, and tablets are off limits...that's because the code necessary to track and monetize you is baked into the cake with modern and mobile operating systems...
,..which brings us to smartphones which are a real problem. On the one hand they do provide a great deal of utility, but on the other they are basically a spy. You can try some of these same strategies with a cell phone...an Android phone without ever logging in on a Google account, disabling Google apps, installing a VPN, installing Brave or Firefox as your browaer, getting your apps from Aptoid...and while this helps to some extent it doesnt solve the problem as the apps themselves harvest data about you and send it to any number of servers not necessarily related to the device manufacturer.
You could not install apps and use the device as a mobile web browsing platform. But your cell phone provider still tracks your location and data usage.
You could use the last remaining smartphone to address privacy concerns, Jolla's Sailfish. Or you could use a feature phone like the relaunched Nokia 3310.
In the end you have to decide how important privacy is to you and make the necessary adjustments.

Use Duckduckgo for internet and quit using Facebook and Twitter. Problem solved.
By the way, if you have the Facebook app on your phone you granted it permission when you installed it to monitor and log all of your internet activity.
