In my opinion, the MOST important thing you can do for your #privacy is get over your aprehension of being "that weirdo" or being "difficult". Not having "the app" is "abnormal". Refusing to use a platform because of a privacy hazard is "being diffiicult".
Avoiding facial or plate recognition is "paranoid".
The first thing you need to do is get the fuck over that. Be difficult, be a weirdo, be abnormal. What's actually fucking weird is being ok with constantly being tracked and data harvested!
