In my social circle, aside my partner, I have only (1) friend who cares. No one else does. Lile at all. I get harassed as to why I an not on WhatsApp or FB by family.

In Australia some companies --banks-- are starting to refuse taking/using cash. Killing privacy, slowly. Most normies can't see how that and will be used to track you.

In Canada, the Feds changed the law 2 years ago. They can now lock you out of your bank accounts without a court order. Which was needed before.

Run your own, you need a server, tech knowledge and time, or maybe Tuta mail?

Wrong. They censored by what they are reporting/to be, at least 3 posts. For all we know it could be 10, 100 or 1,000, 10,000+. Also, worth noting that Facebook does not normally censor, they down-throttle posts. So they will be seen by a lot less people as a way to get around from later whitewashing themselves from the icky word of "censoring." Despite the end result being the same.

"Health Canada finally had to provide the documents – two whole pages /s – no less than 11 months into being asked to release them. The documents concern the country’s government – specifically the Health Ministry – asking Facebook to remove “at least three” posts published by users."

It is a good way to lie without lying, or lying by omission. Corps. Tech and otherwise does this type of thing all the time.

I so dislike Facebook.

Also, fun fact, FB's "Fact Checks," are just opinion. Sourcing the NY because it is not like CNN is going to report this.

Case Citation: Stossel v. Meta Platforms, Inc., 2022 WL 6791430 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 11, 2022)

Relevant parts of Judge Ruling for this are on page 12-14 from case were FB admits this. The whole case was ridiculous except for FB admitting this.

No. The small print and you giving them the right to do so is you purchasing the car. There are different ways to track you and just like Amazon or Apple tracking you, their so-called options to opt-out are questionable or limited at best.

Have been using this for ages. Highly recommended.

Don't know but that sounds like a great idea of one. LOL

Always knew my unrelated OSM API key was useful for something. LOL

As a side note, OSM does trails in parks and the like with exquisite detail, much better than Google Maps. Just in case.

I see the issue. The issue is that you seemingly did not bother to read the link. Since that is not what is being discussed. It is not that you cannot tell whether someone is using a PC or a phone, but rather which PC or phone or peripheral you are using if you have number of them. Your point has literally nothing to do with the post.

"Be’ery wrote in his blog post explaining the data leak that it is a consequence of the way WhatsApp is designed: When someone sends a message to another WhatsApp user, their device creates a different session key for each device the receiver is using, thus telling the sender how many devices the receiver is using."

Fair, but you will be surprised how often people simply revisit the same sites, over and over. You do it once, it is done for life. Also, it takes like 3-4 seconds. It is worth the investment of a few seconds. Or at least, that is what I have found.

Kernel level? Hahaha. No thanks.
