Short to do list on how to actually achieve privacy;
use Linux;
use hardened Firefox;
use Steam;
use protonmail or something similar;
Easy, right? Desktop-wise, achieving privacy is quite easy tbf
Then you see the mobile hell-scape:
install grapheneOs (unless you are lucky, you won’t be able to use your banking application, and the process is not beginner friendly);
do not use apps that are a privacy nightmares;
do not use Google play or Google related services (you lose the YouTube commodity);
The last two points lead you to basically not use social media (Lemmy and a few other alternatives excluded, but they are far away from the mainstream). Then there is another problem: to keep contact with other people, you have to use privacy-nightmares apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
So yeah, privacy isn’t dead yet but it’s heading that way (unfortunately); which obviously doesn’t mean people shouldn’t do anything about it, it’s just sad
Not really
