Wrong, advocate for pro-consumer laws. Today it's a switch, tomorrow its a thing you use. And on that post there will be another snide comment on how idiot customers didn't read the 50 page EULA.
Defiance of unjust laws is the strongest activism, unless you're dealing with a compassionate person who never would have done this in the first place, and excluding nailing your congressghoul to its chair and (thing that sounds really hard to do at scale and like it would violate fire code or something unless the legislative is doing wfh.)
Doing crimes is showing not that they shouldn't work in theory, but that they do not work in practice, and people don't want them to, and every secobd you continue to try degrades your power.
So be a good citizen; lie cheat steal kill win.
Why not doing both? Supporting more independent platforms and advocating for pro-consumer laws
