Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/mad-meta-dont-let-them-collect-and-monetize-your-personal-data
@eff I've disabled Google Play Services and all Google apps. The only App that refuses to run is Strava, which is no loss, as I use OpenTracks. I have no advertising ID on my phone. Also run Privacy Badger & UBlock Origin on Firefox and reject most cookies, I also have 8 unregistered Nectar cards on rotation.
Not to gloat, but just for a giggle, I downloaded everything Google thought they knew about me... turns out it's around ⅝ of F.All.
@gregalotl the rotating nectar cards is kinda brilliant. Do you swap them out after each purchase and keep a consistent order or do you change it up a lot?
@stellarsarah A bit of a slight random system; like me. I use the one from the back and move it to the front (mostly) but sometimes I pull them all out, fan them out and ask the checkout person to pick one. They're usually a bit baffled until I explain that I have no interest in points and only want money off and this is a compromise to preserve privacy.
@gregalotl nice. It sounds like a good random system.
