I'm damn sure our definitions of this word are not aligned

That would force them to reveal it's sources (unconsented scraping) hence make them liable for any potential lawsuits. As such they would need to withdraw from revealing sources

Depends on what you did! Say for example they're using Graphene to harass/paedophilia then they already have a copious amount of evidence on hand since they are there.

For organising peaceful protests that seems less of an issue and the other end of the chats is the weak link.

Good luck having them delete your data cuz they didn't delete mine.

Tracking how many users you have and how many of them visit an article is hardly any breach of privacy compared to what ad companies retain.

Use an open source solution about analytics and minimise data collection if not absolutely necessary.

The developer was threatened with legal action I last read so he was forced to takedown.

I fail to understand if a slap on the wrist is enough to defer these kids from the cookie. Legislation needs to be passed and a no second strike policy implemented where you lose the licence in the event they are found to be illegally serving any parties.

LineageOS without google is a good start if supported

Slow and steady is a better practice than going for the big ones outright.

People are not predictable and they need to be sure this wont affect their business by creating a trend. On second thought it is a bit surprising that no tiktok trend has exploded where they instruct people to block ads with uBlock.

 

In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened.

My browser is configured against tracking and fingerprinting (in fact all my devices are) which would make it fairly difficult to retain any data unless they are profiling me.

 

Recently Motorola followed by Samsung started disabling/locking devices flagged as "illegal" through Mexico marking a precedent over the remote control manufacturers have over the devices they sell! Only after Mexican government made an official request to manufacturers they removed the lock.
