John Oliver builds a guide to make your data less valuable to Mark Zuckerberg
After Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg transparently attracted President Trump, as well as changes in content control policies across meta-platforms, there is no doubt that hate speech is against marginalized groups, Many are looking for ways to separate from the social media giants. You can calculate John Oliver in it. On Sunday night, last week’s host spent more than half an hour illuminating all the ways Meta actively hurts people and arming users with a kind of lower value to the company.

Oliver covers a lot of foundations throughout the segment, from Facebook’s contribution to the Myanmar genocide to election misunderstandings – all of which sprinkle his standard tangent assistant and analogy, like saying Zuckerberg looks like “Eddie Redmayne is all playing games with ice cubes” and “White McLemore.”
He also called on the audience to take action: to reduce his value to the meta. This theory is simple. META generates 98% of revenue through its powerful advertising platform that allows companies to base large amounts of data on a large amount of data by tracking you and your online activities. So, to cut off Meta’s revenue, cut off its ability to track you on the web.
“They probably don’t want me to tell you that you can change the settings so that Facebook and Instagram can’t make too much profit from the data,” Oliver said. How to prevent meta-tracking you. “If you’re interested in a step-by-step guide on how to do this, just visit johnoliverwantsy yourraterotica.com.”
Yes, the URL is Johnoliverwantsy yourraterotica.com. Try not to focus on this. Again, this is the standard for a comedy of tonight style last week, please don’t let it interfere with the valuable work the show does.
If you are private, the guide is a fairly standard fare, but it is useful for Oliver to point its millions of listeners to these tools, including suggesting people to adopt privacy-centric web browsers like Firefox (such as Firefox) and installing privacy badge, which prevents third-party advertisers from tracking your activity.
Is this likely to place most of the depression on the bottom line of Meta, which Oliver describes as a “company working to stop people from accusing human trafficking” no, almost certainly not. Back in 2021, major advertisers took money away from the platform, and hardly even stopped monetary machines from printing unlimited cash. User boycotts coming and going, and in most cases, the lasting impact is small, mainly due to Meta’s grasp of the size and monopoly of audiences.
However, making people realize that tracking their activities and how the platform is used has no harm, no drawbacks, and no drawbacks, pushing people toward protecting their privacy. Oliver’s message is net positive…even if it means “Rat Porn” must be typed into your URL bar.
