These big tech companies are so frustrating. Why does every single aspect of our digital lives need to be monitored? It’s like whack a mole trying to get the most basic of privacy.

As someone without a digital life, Simple ≠ Easy.

I find it pretty easy. I don't have WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, LinkIn, or anything else really besides a few forum memberships like the one here.

Your ISP and device manufacturers are still tracking you though?

My phone's manufacturer doesn't track me. Sent from my Librem 5. Also I use Tor.
