    Use FOSS as much as possible, pressure your gov to implement laws against tracking (against what Snowden showed us).

    There is no need to know the location and history, and the communication of everyone everywhere.

      I hope Google gets split up, that’ll probably be the beginning of the end for targeted ads (I would hope)

        I wouldn’t think thats how they are splitting it up … Basically just affecting market shares of some markets (targeted ads being one of them + the ecosystem pushing you into it).

          I thought chrome, yt, search, gmail/docs, android, etc. would all be separate entities, making them less willing to share data for financial reasons

            Hm, yes, but their entire goal is to expand advertising - more volume is good for all these same alphabet entities, even if they “lose” (not really) something on pricing.

            Also I hope the search engine somehow gets split up too.
