gollark: I mean, not *really*, people will often say "well, if you buy [PRODUCT] from [COMPANY WHICH DOES [BAD THINGS]], you're supporting [BAD THINGS] to some extent".

gollark: Say I want to use Signal, which is better for privacy than WhatsApp, but my friends refuse to use Signal too because they don't care. I'm now forced to use WhatsApp and compromise privacy somewhat.

gollark: Well, if people *want* to interact with you for whatever reason, they have to use Facebook or whatever else you're on.

gollark: If you use, say, Facebook, and won't use non-Facebook stuff which is better for privacy, you are giving Facebook money and making people use Facebook to communicate with you.

gollark: I mean, most of the more privacy-oriented stuff is free and open source.
