I’d take this a step further for the homies and remind them there’s nothing wrong with being able to live privately. it’s wrong for govt/big tech to monitor literal everything. here are some examples from my own life:

- don’t share your phone number for reward points at coffee shops, grocery stores, etc
- when someone calls and asks “Hi am I speaking to $name”, immediately ask who is calling before providing any information. if it’s sensitive information ask for their name and call back on the company’s publicly listed number
- no Alexa, ring cams, etc on your property
- leave the cell phone at home every once in a while
- use a unique email address per service
- pay cash
- do not install apps like facebook, instagram, etc on your phone
- browse the web without being logged in, block tracking, default no script
