I am not going to comment on the incel thing other than to say get help, because while I don’t agree with that I still think privacy is an important right that you should have regardless of that. My advice would be to buy an old computer / phone / any electronics you want to be private in cash and in person. Don’t use any compromised devices to find the new devices. Install Linux (probably Debian would be my recommendation, although I am tempted to make an Arch user incel joke) on the computer and a privacy respecting os like graphene or calyx on the phone. You will have to make sure the phone supports it before buying. You should be able to set up i2p+ on Debian and on the phone. Use it whenever possible, even though it is insanely slow. There is a lot more than that, but I am tired.
