I honestly feel defeated right now, it feels like currently it's impossible to truly stay private online unless one is willing to move to a cabin in the woods with no internet and you stop using tech all together and truly become a ghost and stay offline. Can someone help me feel like everything I am currently doing is actually making a difference? Because right now it doesn't feel like it.

Just give fake data for everything you are not legally required to give your real info for.

I guess it depends on your age and how old you look but even when I did have to show Id it was just that, show it to the cashier. I wouldn't let any random person scan it.

That being said I could totally go without alcohol if needs be.
