        Some of it for me at least is moral. They stole all our data to create this shit and are selling it back to us, it’s destroying the planet and communities near these stupid data centers, it’s constantly being used and pushed to further human suffering, surveillance, pricing, war and death etc. I really want no part in it, but that’s becoming increasingly difficult.
