Is there really anything to do? Everyone is constantly uploading photos of my kids to Instagram and that's generating the same surveillance dragnet all these other things are building.

I don't see a way to opt-out without plastic surgery.

Individual action will never do anything on this. It has to come from privacy laws, the GDPR was a good step, but we need to go further.

Make storing personal data like storing hazardous material. Something you absolutely avoid if possible, and treat with extreme care when you absolutely must store it.

Unfortunately the users of this site would rather tell you to move to the woods, go off grid, and paint dazzle camouflage on your face before admitting that a solution has to come from society rather than the individual.

Except supporting NGOs fighting against the surveillance: https://eff.org, https://edri.org.
