I am sure these FB employees were just following the orders, but why act only now? FB practices were well-known even outside of FB, this couldn't possibly be the first time they found out what is happening in the showers.
Your reptilian brain won't let you stop telegraphing high status and reproductive fitness signals to your fellow monkeys.
I thought monkeys were primates, not reptiles. I thought I knew biology:(
Unfortunately, your lack of knowledge of physiology is apparent. Reptilian brain is a subsystem in charge of regulation of hormones and so on.

You personally can avoid contributing to it, but that doesn't help one bit..
It is rather straight forward. If you personally don't contribute, then data on you only arrives from the secondary sources. If you limit web tracking by blocking FB and ask your friends not to tag you, then secondary data is very limited.
Yes you can, but you are not willing to pay social costs for doing so. Your reptilian brain won't let you stop telegraphing high status and reproductive fitness signals to your fellow monkeys. Your are addicted to endorphins released that way, so it is the same "You can't" that you would hear from a junkie.
This dogmatic approach to OS is absolutely counterproductive. So what if they used Linux? Even if they publish the source, it won't include drivers, so it isn't like you will be able to compile and use it.
I am interested in a conversation with you, because we happen to disagree on many things. It is boring to talk to people you always agree with. I am willing to extend charitable interpretation to what you say, but not when it goes against preconceived notions I have about you. That is, in this specific example I decided, perhaps mistakenly, that it is something that AmiMoJo would intentionally say.
Could you really fault me for this apparent mistake, considering how easily accusations of Nazism is getting thrown from your side?
If you didn't intended it that way, than I will take your word for it. However, personally I am convinced that some moderator at YouTube is right now demonetizing a conservative channel believing that doing so fights fascism.
Actually, advertisers failed to fully realize that digital advertising based on keywords, that imperfectly represent immediate interest, is hugely ineffective. It is only hyper-targeted advertising that personal data aggregators like Facebook could offer that is of any use.
What you are interested in a specific moment has very weak correlation to what you consume. Who you are as a person has very strong correlation to what you consume. So advertising to people looking for X is all but worthless unless it is ultra-specific search term like "where to buy X", but advertising to people who are X is rather effective, especially if you willing to use emotional manipulation and other dirty marketing tricks.
For example. A middle aged male from California with an estimated income of 60K/year is searching for "RubyGem json". So when Google advertising shows large picture of actual rubies with a link to jeweler site they are wasting that advertiser's money. Instead show advertisement for cat litter, hand moisturizer, and mountain dew and you likely will get some sales.
I can compile Linux kernel from source and hack my BIOS. However, when relatives come to me with "Such and such app on my Android tablet doesn't work" I often can't easily help them. This is because I don't regularly use Android and don't know its idiosyncrasies. May Zs would consider me computer illiterate.
Employment rights won't get Nazi videos re-monetized though.
While the rest of your reply is reasonable, you started with poisoning the well by implying that monetization of Nazi videos is the key issue and that demonetized videos are likely Nazi.
There is a very popular channel (Deermeatfordinner) that is run by a very nice family guy, talks about doing good, participates in charity events, fishes, hunts, and cooks.
Youtube has demonetized most of his hunting videos. They have even deleted some. Essentially, anything that shows how to clean and butcher an animal. But not fish. You can show all the fish guts want and Youtube doesn't care.
This is just strange. Especially if I am a hunting store/supplies business, this is EXACTLY the type of video I'd like to advertise with.
AmiMoJo, you triggered me with your insensitive comment and your abusive and violent conduct pushed me toward spiral of self-harm and criminality. So the entirety of my bad decisions from this point on rest on your shoulders.
you create a painting . . . hang it in a gallery . . . and then someone buys it . . . or they don't.
When you apply to the Youtube content creators, "then someone buys it" is building a following. When Youtube demonetizes it is equivalent of arts gallery forcing return and refund of all paintings sold through it, without refunding commissions.
Ideological commitment to freedom speech aside, you should care about Yutube demonetizing because it chills all similar speech. This will result in more shallow and pointless content and less critical commentary. This will make Youtube less valuable as a source of knowledge.
There are content creators whose existence is toxic and damaging to Youtube brand.
Is radical left ideology is part of that brand? If not, they should also demonetize toxic radical left content creators, and there are plenty of these. However, Youtube are not doing this. So it isn't about brand, but about ideology conformity.

Slashdot is to old to collect data on you.
I am counting at least 12 clear-cut trackers served by /. right now. They are definitely attempting to track you.
I only ever get ads for cat litter, pizza delivery, and hand moisturizer like most /. readers would. So there is definitely something wrong with you.

You don't have to hide 100% as the ultimate goal is to be resistant to manipulation, not resistant to them knowing you exist.

Not submitting data to FB helps A GREAT DEAL.
opt out of Facebook
You can't.
Yes you can, but you are not willing to pay social costs for doing so. Your reptilian brain won't let you stop telegraphing high status and reproductive fitness signals to your fellow monkeys. Your are addicted to endorphins released that way, so it is the same "You can't" that you would hear from a junkie.
You could get a prepaid credit card in your dog's name, but then FB would know you are a dog.
Nice privacy you got here, shame if something happened to it.
What she doesn't say that you will have to continue paying for privacy in perpetuity for anything you share with FB.
It isn't difficult until lawyers and suits show up. Then it becomes impossible.
How do you know the drivers they chose to use aren't GPL?
WAG based on how other products of this type usually work.
This dogmatic approach to OS is absolutely counterproductive. So what if they used Linux? Even if they publish the source, it won't include drivers, so it isn't like you will be able to compile and use it.
I think, if true, demonetization of Public Broadcasting Service channel should be a bigger story.
Youtube doesn't want their money.
Then they are neglecting their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

Entertainment of any type gets boring.
This why you should go directly to elector-stimulating pleasure centers. That never gets boring.

Interesting. This stood out: PBS Game/Show. Is this Public Broadcasting Service?

Spot on, AmiMoJo.
