Christmas Data Strike 2024

Instagram is literally suppressing every video I made on reels about this so I’m turning to tumblr. On the 24th and 25th, we are striking on Meta services (Instagram, Facebook) as well as X/Twitter and Tiktok. Streaming services, google, and any amazon services should be boycotted as well if possible.

DO ✅

Engage with activities that are offline

Spend as little time online as possible

Tell your friends and family that you’re going dark and then put your phone in airplane mode!!

DO NOT ❌

Use any of these socials period. Do not give them your screen time

Use google to search for anything - use an alternative search engine

Buy anything online

Stream television or music - download your shows and watch offline if necessary

Why?

These corporations, especially during christmas, use our data to train their models for next year. They want to know what gifts we got and what we’re doing with them. By depriving these companies of our data, we are saying that we want to maintain the right to our data and privacy! Here’s a tiktok video that explains in more detail.

PLEASE reblog for more reach!!! Tumblr is the only platform I can think of that won’t suppress this strike.

in case anyone’s feeling a little hopeless and wants to do something political this holiday season

if you have issues with this pls argue with the wall. this is a very neutral post in regards to opinions on if you as an individual should or should not participate. this is just to spread awareness

people on tiktok are organizing a data strike for the 24th-25th of december. idk if it will work, but the fact that tiktok is going out of it's way to suppress videos about the data strike, makes me think it will, so i'm gonna participate. it's super simple, just put your phone on airplane mode or temporarily delete your social media apps. for entertainment, choose books or cds or the radio.

apps/websites that you should avoid during this time are:

spotify

twitter

tumblr

tiktok

google/gmail/google docs/google everything

youtube obvs

reddit

instagram

facebook

any other website that uses google adsense

i'll be pausing my queue and going on a break, i would hope you all are motivated to do the same!

hey friends,

i will be participating in the christmas 2024 data strike organized by sky fisher on tiktok

essentially i will be putting my phone on airplane mode for the entirety of december 24th and 25th, especially avoiding social media, streaming, and online shopping for 48 hours

the purpose of this collective action is to deny corporations access to our very valuable data during two of the biggest gifting days of the year when they are training their models to anticipate spending habits for the upcoming year, as well as removing corporations’ ability to advertise to us over that period. you can check out sky’s videos on this for more info if you want, she goes into it in a bit more depth

all this to say, i’ll see y’all on the other side. if you can i hope you’ll consider joining me in getting offline for a couple days and giving a big middle finger to the ruling class

happy holidays to all 💜
