"Hey I'm going to buy your location data tonight."
"I like to know where you go on Thursdays"
This what Google, Facebook, X, your ISP, and the junk apps on your phone actually get from you, and everyone around you when you use their creepy apps.
Hit me up on Mastadon, use Tor, use DDG, we should have an restraining order against these creeps. Worse yet they don't just want it for themselves they sell and share it with company, countries, anyone they like, and don't tell you.
This is how I WANT to talk about because it's how I feel. Their just strangers, I wouldn't tell a stranger on the street any of this. I feel like this is such a fringe thought for people though.
