What we have been doing would have worked if the majority would have followed.

Chose open standards, use and contribute to FOSS, avoid social networks, get involved in your local community, etc.

No need to go to extreems or complicated plans, corporations follow the customers.

But nobody did listen. Quite the opposite. I never had a facebook account, and now today people are boasting when they leave FB. But 10 years ago ? Oh we were the paranoid extremists .

Even today my friends regularly pressure me to get whatsapp.
