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.

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.
DeGoogle your phone if you can.

Maybe!
I learned the hard way to not take chances though!?
Surprise surprise!
I’ve yet to find someone good in the office since Kennedy!
Fancy charisma or not, all of them have some agenda to attend to that does not align with people’s best interest.
Imagine if the dialer could sync a region specific spam blocklist
One could use MailDrop to sign up.
Downside is that you could go back to the site and check their email again making it a potential security risk, that is unless the account isn’t worth pennies!
You have no need to tell them that!
Turn on your VPN in a country which is privacy sensitive and inform them that you are withdrawing consent to storing or processing your data.

This applies not only to exact copies of the data concerned, but also to those from which information contained in the data concerned can be derived.
In case you have disclosed the affected personal data to third parties, you have to communicate my request for erasure of the affected personal data, as well as any references to it, to each recipient as laid down in Article 19 GDPR. Please also inform me about those recipients.
If you object to the requested erasure, you have to justify that to me.

I am including the following information necessary for the sole purpose of identifying my data:
If you do not answer my request within the stated period, I am reserving the right to take legal action against you and to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority.

Yours sincerely, (Your name here)
It was good until little while ago now I was getting ads whilst they were turned off.
