This is why we don’t want to give tech bros and corpos our IDs to use the internet. (When I looked at this app it only asked for a selfie, which seemed like a reasonable way to verify a woman is signing up.)

Digital privacy… What started your journey, and what did you start with?

🛰️ Ich suche einen neuen Mobilfunkanbieter!
Anforderungen:
📶 Gute Netzabdeckung (auch nicht nur auf dem Kirchturm)
📡 5G
📦 Mindestens 30 GB Datenvolumen
💶 Max. 15–20 € im Monat
🕵️‍♂️ Und das Wichtigste: Datenschutz & Privatsphäre – ich will surfen, nicht ausgespäht werden!

Wer kennt Anbieter, die kein „Datenvolumen“ auch wörtlich nehmen?

🔍 Your Phone: A Digital Fingerprint
Your smartphone isn’t just a gadget—it’s a tracker revealing your identity, location, and habits. Here’s how:

How You’re Tracked:

IMEI: Unique device ID, trackable without a SIM.
Bluetooth MAC: Beacons log your movements.

Phone Number: Ties to accounts and apps.

GPS/Wi-Fi: Apps and ISPs map your location.

Digital Fingerprint: Screen, OS, and settings create a unique profile.

Risks:

Ad targeting harvests your data.
Fraudsters exploit leaked IMEI or numbers.
Surveillance risks blackmail or data sales.

Protect Yourself:

Disable Bluetooth/Wi-Fi in public.
Use a VPN to hide your IP.
Limit app location access.
Update privacy settings regularly.

📬 Gmail’s Upgrade Dilemma: Decision Time for 2 Billion Users! Google is making a major push to get users onto paid Google One plans — not just for storage, but for bundled AI features and so-called "enhanced privacy."
Here’s what’s really going on:
⏳ Many users are nearing Gmail’s 15GB free limit
💸 Upgrade nudges are becoming more aggressive
🤖 AI features (like Gemini) are tied to subscriptions
🔍 Privacy is marketed as a benefit — but remains complex

This isn't just a storage issue — it's a strategic pivot: Google is reshaping its free products into a premium ecosystem, one nudge at a time.
💬 Are we paying for better tools, or paying to escape limitations Google created?

“Even users who blocked or cleared cookies, hid their IP address with a VPN, or browsed in incognito mode could be identified with this tracking technique.”

How long have you cared about your digital privacy? And more importantly, when did you start to actively protect it?

It's been well over twenty years for me. I'd guess it was probably around 2000 or 2001. It was around that time I started using multiple email addresses and became aware of the problems browser cookies posed.

I dug into my personal backups/archives and found this old Visual Basic script from 2005 that deletes cookies.

Nice!
I donated to the @torproject the other day and got the hat as a gift, received today.

Delivery on this field works very well too. I've never seen a box like this arriving in this condition (forgot to take a photo).

And I didn't know that they're going to include some stickers either. A little extra surprise. Thanks!

Take a look at the photo, if you want this too, go and donate!

The hat BTW fits good
