In Australia we are less than 100 days away from having our biometrics harvested by social media platforms as a part of the reform's to block social media usage for under 16s.

Whilst I absolutely see the merit in limiting social media usage for children to avoid all kinds of harms I'm most concerned about how the platforms will implement this and have no faith they are doing it with the users best intentions.

If anything I think it will be used to train their algorithms, build out their networks and harvest even more of your data and user statistics to further their main interest, which from what I can see is growth and profits.

It's utterly horrifying really.

Alternatives for Google Drive? Anyone use Proton Drive? A NAS maybe or SSD?

Imagine driving around with a stranger in the backseat of your car telling people who you are talking to and messaging, where you're going and the things your searching online.

You can't see those people or know what they are saying. They are talking about anout you though.

Social media and smartphones. It's hard to see where surveillance starts and marketing ends.

Curious to hear honest reviews about GrapheneOS as a daily drive. How do you do all those things that phone users want to do? What are your best work around apps that you rely on. Was it a big adjustment changing over?

The KYC / AML questions for banks have gone too far. Imagine having your withdrawal of your funds denied until you provide them with an explanation of what you want to use your funds for. As if you'd tell them what you were doing anyway if you were doing something illegal.
