I think "most people in tech" have the choice to not use Big Tech spying services that keep gathering the data.

But how common is that choice?



Huh? That's exactly the same as all the billions of people who don't work in tech. Everyone has that choice; tech workers aren't special here. You can either use the Big Tech spying services, or not (and miss out on various things as a consequence, because of the social factor of many things).

The choice is something that everyone has, and people (tech and non-tech) exercise that choice every day. Usually, though, it's people refusing to use one Big Tech service in favor of a different one: look how many younger people now don't use Facebook, but instead use TikTok.
