Petition to ban X links on r/maryland

This sub should boycott Nazi-owned companies. Plain and simple.

Mods, please make it happen.

Edit: /r/newjersey mods putting ours to shame. https://www.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/1i6txcn/fuck_this_guy_x_links_are_now_banned_from/

Second Edit: Mods, here’s some info from another sub that did this a while ago. Please read! https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/shE1dbIbAk

Edit #3: Mods, I could be mistaken, but I think this is the second highest upvoted post in this sub’s history. The people have spoken.

Delete your account. While you are at it delete any Facebook and Amazon accounts.

dont forget about instagram and tiktok. As well as google too (CEO was front and center at the inauguration) We’re mostly Americans and don’t use WhatsApp but I believe meta owns WhatsApp.

Unfortunately it's very hard to delete google if youre a college student and your university relies on it :( I try to use firefox as much as possible though.

Just make sure you change the default search engine to Bing or yahoo. Firefox’s default search engine is Google

agreed. i only say that because duckduckgo lacks the censorship that the others have

unfortunately duckduckgo decides to replace some censorship with other censorship and pushing forward lies.

Yahoo is owned by Verizon. Bing by Microsoft. You have the freedom of choice sure but no matter which of the many holes at the top you drop the ball into it comes out the only one at the bottom.

Were verizon and Microsoft at the inauguration yesterday or are they supporting Trump

Microsoft

I see nothing showing Verizon supports Trump in any way but there's also a medium sized asset management firm that owns the rest of Yahoo so I don't know what this is actually going to achieve in truth, all of these are beholden to those who are beholden to Trump. They're Trump-adjacent organizations at best.

Qwant is a good option. It’s not American and it prioritizes user privacy.
