    Upper Right: Laughing Men In Suits (And Then I Said meme)


    Bottom Left: Fennec F-Droid app icon; Privacy Badger logo; UBlock Origin logo; Decentraleyes logo.
    Bottom Right: “Afraid to loose money stock photo”: Stock photo of middle-aged white male on couch holding three US hundred dollar bills with a mildly frightened facial expression.

    edit: also thanks to the peeps who identified the logos so I didn’t have to reverse image search every single one of them
