Someone in another thread said he has a mastodon account. Dunno if he posts there or not.
Ive used pihole and also just removed the network’s settings.
If you want to stream, i don’t know how useful any of these mitigations are. You’re giving them some data to subscribe and use. Even if you share accounts, who knows what the apps collect.
They are right now because there’s a focus on getting greenlit to grow this as a business. At some point, a companies will start to chip away at any regulation that may be in place and optimize for lower-cost cars with fewer sensors or prioritize say travel speed over safety, at which point it’s likely going to place them exactly where humans are for much decision making.
This only sorta works for today and if your friends never share images or videos online. The ever-increasing amount of people taking pictures and filming and posting them online means the day is quickly approaching where you could be identified and tracked through other people’s content, security & surveillance cameras, etc.
If stores start adopting the tracking used at Walmart and the Amazon biometric data, social media will be the last of your worries.
