they’re not doing it to get you to turn it back on, but your mom who you turned it off for. drives me mad how often I have to redisable privacy nightmares everytime my mom asks me to help her with her phone.

VPN + DeGoogled Privacy Android ROM would be the most practical. That way you should br free from most if not all cross device tracking.

In general having a seperate device for that stuff makes total sense.

Get some sort of device that is compatible with CalyxOS or GrapheneOS, like an older Pixel

not sure what would be best to handle verification.

You also have to be careful to use totally new accounts for everything on this new device, different number, different email, different device, different sim etc

the only thing that can really stop it IMO is mainstreaming decentralized social media and messaging services.

You’d need to effectively replace Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Whatsapp etc… The only thing that totally keeps us from 1984 is that all these platforms for now have decided to be relatively free and impartial (compared to how bad it could be). But that could change at any time if the powers that be decide to on a whim. They could completely ban all privacy, pacificsm or any kind of political opposition tomorrow.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Gnome, is in fact, Clanker/Gnome, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Clanker plus Gnome.
