Maybe this is for another thread at this point, but everyone who has commented here has been great so I’ll just shoot...
if you’re focused on a ghost like footprint, and you use all of these services to protect you while you’re on the web... what about your dang computer when you are not on the web? Does my computer (mac) collect it’s own data that is needed to function and anytime I do get on WiFi (even if through a vpn) it will shoot that information as apple has prescribed? So looking at my iPhone. I receive software updates directly to my phone. So we aren’t discussing the necessity for a vpn here because that communication link would not be invisible, since the device is still sending data to apple with metadata about my device. To be clear I understand the point in a virtual phone number. But that would just be used to create accounts. My device is still logging keystrokes, and notes, files, etc. anyone get where I’m going with this? People are using burner numbers for account creation, but shouldn’t we be using burner devices as well? Or paying cash for computers and phones and never typing anything personal on it?
Also, what’s the point in dmca-free servers? From what I understand they just ignore dmca requests. But... that just makes you a target. Why don’t you just host in a dmca free environment but still comply with dmca by removing content. Then having backup sites ready if someone is requesting full take down?
give them what they want you know? But if they ever get annoying take back their privileges. Hahaha
