That’s, why I’m here…

*opens social media account and mindlessly start scrolling well sitting on the toilet* NSA/FBI: "He's on the shitter, move in! Move in!"

I feel ya. Logged into my Facebook account yesterday for the first time this year, just so I could make sure all the privacy settings were toggled to maximum restrictions. Then logged back out. Any suggestions on an easy way to sort/manage apps by “most egregious”?

Nobody should be trusting companies that aren’t transparent and clearly explain to users _before_ they start using an app what information they track and why they need to do so.

Use as many apps through the web browser as possible. All my social media apps are PWAs.

Agreed. On that note: I was just kindly (😂) reminded that Apple can of course see all the apps each Apple ID has downloaded. The dev does not see that though right, unless they explicitly choose to collect user data?

on this topic: best thing if you have an IG, Whatsapp or FB account is to manually revoke your data and opt out of everything before finally deleting said apps as only deleting would still allow companies to control and do as they wish with your data right?

Re: mobile device Besides having de-googled my phone (as much as reasonably possible) Nad using Fdroid as much as I can, the best helper I've found has been the duckduckgo browser's beta extension tracker blocker. Runs in the background as a VPN, and provides you with an overview of the RIDICULOUS a...

And your creepy shitty Android Fans bashing shoul dalso stop

Research question 🙋‍♂️ if they paid you bitcoin via a lightning invoice for the data they’re currently collecting would you continue to use the apps?

Removed all social apps. Only LinkedIn remaining. Hope to delete it soon as well. For the rest, happy with Nostr content.

Good plan 👍

I need to do this. I have way too many apps on my phone.

Be a boss. Go CLI only on mobile.

Agree. Most of my apps are just through browser. I login through Brave Browser and add that web page to Home Screen. It almost acts like an app with drastically less ads and trackers.

Agreed? I don’t even want the tax man looking at my bank account, nevermind some evil mega corp tracking what I’m watching, listening to or even speaking about in my private life

My feature phone just arrived. When nostr on USSD machankura style?? 👊

This app changed me. I now reject all cookies. It’s empowering 😀

My DNS filter catches a good amount of data collection endpoint connection attempts. https://nostr.build/i/cb5f23e013a9e8bbb87b76a4e325f922b3bd61b977946cfc177a6d7517cf9898.jpg It seems like a great chance for a seasonal OS reinstall.

My phone looks so fun nowdays. Damus, Insta, Twitter, Nexo, Wallet of Satoshi, Brave, Coinmarket cap, Splice, Ledger. Mics, notfications, tracking, everything off, even brave block all cookies which I change if I really need to visit site that usea cookies for verification, logging off from insta...

This is the way

What is an easy way to uncover what an ios app is tracking?

Amazing job Will! Thank you for improving the Nostr 😍🌷

we need to work our way through legislation to fix this. US laws generally do not encompass the right to privacy - whilst US legislation addresses data security and the importance of private records, privacy is often absent from the discussion, appearing in separate privacy laws. We can look to t...
