I’ve switched to using proton mail from gmail because I’m trying to value my privacy and it’s a very hard task cause there are websites spying on you, SaaS services using your “private” stuff to train LLMs, I added the quotes cause it’s on page 500 of some updated ToS that now they can use information about your genitalia and sexual orientation for personalised ads and stuff “share with partners”, so it’s not really private after all, probably it’s not even your stuff more or they co own it, and even the stuff you do pay for is spying on you like the Samsung TV with the Tizen wanna know if you are cool with them sharing stuff they know about you every time you power TV on, and when you say no they ask again. I put that one on the raspberry pi-Hole and it was close to 60% of DNS traffic for that one was for ad calls it’s absolutely nuts.
With all of them vultures snooping on all that you do online it’s absolutely absurd that the targeted ads you do get is of such bad quality, it’s just a bunch of shit they advertise for which I’ve no intention of buying.
