# Mark Zuckerberg said: It’s time to go back to our roots and use RSS

**[RUBYLAND](https://daily.dev/sources/rubyla)** · 4 min read · 32 upvotes · 7 comments

## Summary

Mark Zuckerberg claims to advocate for freedom of expression, but this is questioned in the context of centralized social networks. An alternative presented is RSS, a technology from the roots of the internet that allows users to consume content directly from sources without third-party interference. The post explains how RSS works, highlights its benefits, and mentions various RSS readers, including a new reader app, Chaski. Despite a decline in RSS popularity, it's suggested as a viable solution for staying informed without the influence of big tech companies.
