  • Online ads, same here.

    Was a small thing, I was vaguely aware of online ads but only at a high level.

    Was browsing online for garden sheds then turned the laptop off. Came back in the evening and every single site was pushing ads for gardens sheds.

    Did some research and 7 years later, de-googled phone, all social media long since closed, linux (mostly), VPN etc etc.

    Not going to pretend I can do anything against state actors (CIA, GCHQ) , my threat actors are businesses, Meta, Amazon, Googlr etc.

    Can’t beat them all, but I can make my data exepensive to them at least.
