*Microsoft is phoning home the content of your PowerPoint slides
Regardless of how hard we try, putting our trust and data in the hands of big tech, who hide what their software is really doing, is never going to help anyone
It is really time people woke up, the best thing to do is to switch to a free and open source replacement for your office software.
- LibreOffice
- Big Blue Button for video conferencing
- Nextcloud cloud and collaboration platform
- Disroot lots of services inc e-mail, cloud, etc
There are lots of alternatives to the main social media platforms if enough people switch, then decentralised will be MAINSTREAM and users will have their data where users should want it, under their own control.
Keep data in house or at least in the GDPR jurisdiction
