My industry is full of thieves. Most of them are data thieves. Whatever free apps you're running or free services you're using, 99% of them are trying to get rich off your data.
Some straight out collect and sell (think meta, goog), others simply train AI models on your stuff (i.e. Github or reddit thru goog and openai).

As in your (behavioral) data? Yes. Don't share it!
  1. Don't use commercial services.
  2. Don't log in to services.
  3. Never give apps access to location, photos, files, other IDs
  4. Disable or frequently reset your advertiser ID on Android / Apple
  5. Use Brave for desktop
  6. Use a privacy enhancing VPN, i.e. proton or mullvad
Read ~privacy, and share your wisdom.
