Google continues to build its massive surveillance empire under the sinister guise of “privacy.” In its latest iteration on #Android, Google lets you opt into their “Ad Topics,” which roughly translated means, “Let Google be the gatekeeper of all your data.” (1/4)

What happens is that Google opts you out of third parties grabbing up your data, but it doesn’t opt #Google out of it. So by opting into their Ad Topics on #Android, you allow Google to get your data & no one else, essentially crowning it king ofthe #bigdata monopoly. (2/4)

So first, here’s how to opt-out:➡️ Go to Settings ➡️ Security & Privacy ➡️ Privacy ➡️ Ads ➡️ Ads privacy ➡️ Ad topics ➡️ Toggle the switch next to “Allow ad topics.”That's a lot of effort, simply to opt out of giving your data away for free. (3/4)

Proton offers a whole ecosystem of services – #ProtonMail, @protonvpn, #ProtonPass &#ProtonDrive – that allow you to put your privacy first. It's the exact opposite of Google.Read more about how #Google thinks your data belongs to it instead of you: https://proton.me/blog/google-privacy-washing-android (4/4)

Most of your online activity can be linked through your email address. Which makes your email your online identity.Even if you use a secure email service, protecting your real email address with aliases can help you avoid tracking and surveillance online.

Meta wants you to keep Facebook Link History on, here’s why you shouldn’t:“Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords.”https://gizmodo.com/meet-link-history-facebook-s-new-way-to-track-the-we-1851134018

If you think big fines work on #BigTech, think again. Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft generated enough revenue in the past 7 days to pay off their fines for 2023. Taking advantage of your privacy is so lucrative, that these fines are nothing more than the cost of doing business. 🧵1 / 3

It's you, the consumer, that's losing out – it's your privacy that's at risk when #BigTech puts their profits first. That means higher prices, less choice, and no privacy.💰 Fines paid by Proton in 2023: $0.End-to-end encryption makes it impossible for us to access or collect your data with Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, Proton VPN and Proton Pass.
