Im talking more about big corporation who collect your information and sell them to other big corporations
But yeah sure that works too
Think about this:
You visit lots of sites everyday. Some of these sites are connected to networks of ads. These networks of ads are designed to take your information and sell it. Then that gets sold. Then that gets sold. Then that gets sold. Eventually, when everyone stops shilling for Google and deletes their gmail, ProtonMail will collect your info and sell it. Infact, every loving site you've visited knows your IP, and your ip isn't where you live. They know your computer model, the network you're connected to, and for some downloaded applications, your battery, computer name, and other personal information ((cough cough steam)).
This isn't even a recent thing. Remember all those surveys you take for free samples or food at the mart? Where do you think they get their money from? Hundreds of loving years ago people would have gossiped about you and even sold your information for a couple of shillings.
"Uhh.. who's espio? Where does he live?"
"He lives at 3939 Knight's Avenue and his pet's name is Sparkles" might be the next thing an amazon employee says about you. Unless you're living in the loving pentagon and are using 900 VPNs to connect to the web under 3 simultanous VPS services located in africa with enough training to not buy a rewards card at wal-mart, you're probably already transparent enough to blend in with glass.
honestly there comes a point where you can go too far in trying to stay 'secure'.
like you can try as hard as you can to hide yourself by using other services (that only very little people use, too) but theres still a lot of ways that your stuff can be unsecure. like theres boundaries where you should probably stop doing complicated or useless-looking changes just to try and make sure your info isnt stolen just because its probably not worth it
i mean do what you want. but i don't see the point of being that protective over your data. its not like i know what tf you're trying to hide anyway
I agree. "Protecting your data" from some folks who already know your every move is over-the-top and is just begging for someone to put on a tinfoil hat. The only company I know of who actively collects and sells your information which you use everyday is Samsung, but only to it's subsidiarys.
