⚡️🚨 ALERT: On February 16, 2025, your online anonymity will disappear.

(Yes, even if you block cookies.)

Google has quietly decided to allow advertisers to use fingerprinting—a method that identifies your device without cookies.

Your IP address, your browser, your operating system, your time zone… all of this becomes your new "digital fingerprint."

The problem?
Unlike cookies, you can't erase it.
Impossible to block. Impossible to oppose.

This is a real disaster for privacy.

The ICO (the UK data protection regulator) is already sounding the alarm:

“This change is irresponsible. Users cannot give their consent or control their data.”

So why is Google backtracking?
Because advertisers are in a panic.
Cookies are disappearing, and they absolutely need to track you in another way.

The question now is: what can you do?

✅ Use a VPN (but that’s not enough)
✅ Regularly change your browser
✅ Enable anti-fingerprinting protection (Tor, Brave, specific extensions)
✅ Use Nostr (Follow flash (npub1f4u…r407))

And most importantly, stop believing the myth that "Google protects your privacy."
