[QUOTE="509322, post: 769282"] Your efforts are based upon principle. And there is nothing wrong with that. Fighting for what one believes in is what billions of people should do. However, in practical terms, you are not preventing anyone from grabbing your personal datas - if they really want to get it. Piling all those security apps, privacy extensions, and VPNs don't do one single thing except drive you crazy. All the privacy stuff online fails to mention the one thing you have little to no control over - and the one thing where just about anyone can grab your personal infos - and that is your datas on 3rd party systems. Not to mention that you are likely using Windows. Everyone wants to point the finger at Google, but Microsoft does the exact same thing, but they just do it differently.. And VPNs are one of the biggest scams. A VPN is a waste of money and resources for day-to-day surfing. To make a dent in privacy, millions of millions of people would have to work simultaneously together and make governments take notice that they aren't going to tolerate privacy invasion. That ain't ever gonna happen because of people being themselves. [/QUOTE]
