I have neither time, resources nor know-how to like go all out on data privacy. But I try doing things like using Proton for Mail, browsing with DuckDuckGo or Ecosia, messaging on Signal instead of WhatsApp, etc.
But I’m having a hard time responding to people who say “why do you do that, it’s completely pointless since companies like Google have all of our data anyways unless we go all out, and nobody has time for all the effort that takes”.
If you don’t want people to see it maybe you shouldn’t be doing it anyways.
“…If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place…” Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO.
There are plenty of potential embarrassing, but completely legal activities, that people have a right to do.
People have a right to do this but should they is the better question.
