@gum_rummy Yes, thank you! Everyone who reads this and @Xystus, please think about your data. Privacy is important. That's why it's a human right. It may not be important and won't have bad implications right now. But this can change in the future. Something like the social credit system is not only in china becoming a reality. It may not be as blatantly obvious as in china but several different companies do stuff like that in the west. I guess you wouldn't be too happy if in the future you were a few times too often at your favorite fast food place and then your insurance rises for example. And even if it wouldn't impact you at all, caring about privacy is a bit like the herd immunity effect with vaccinations. By supporting/using stuff like https://www.torproject.org it is not only benefiting you but also those who need it in countries that aren't as free as ours. I don't ask you to maintain perfect privacy (I don't either, some compromises have to be made), but speaking out about it helps. Showing companies and the government that you care helps as well.
And if you want to do something but don't know where to begin, here are some sources:
