I have neither time, resources nor know-how to like go all out on data privacy. But I try doing things like using Proton for Mail, browsing with DuckDuckGo or Ecosia, messaging on Signal instead of WhatsApp, etc.

But I’m having a hard time responding to people who say “why do you do that, it’s completely pointless since companies like Google have all of our data anyways unless we go all out, and nobody has time for all the effort that takes”.

    Okay, let me see your browser history.

    And while I’m at it, can I sit in that corner over there and watch you have sex with your wife?

    Oh are we getting a little uncomfortable now? May I take a dump while you shower?

    Wait, wait! What do you mean you suddenly care about privacy?
