The giants of the web have a hegemonic position in their field. It allows them to impose their (progressive) ideology, to sell your data, to bludgeon you with ads. Thus, your freedom of expression is censored because it does not correspond to a certain charter. Your anonymity is threatened. You are tracked and your personal data is sold to private companies. The alternatives save you from this politically correct and lucrative formatting. They can offer you security, anonymity and free.
