this counter-offensive feels like a call for ww3

It was good until little while ago now I was getting ads whilst they were turned off.

I'd assume that using the service without paying (money or otherwise) for it would introduce costs to the provider hence being worse than not using it at all.

Google Services Framework if I recall correctly

I'm damn sure our definitions of this word are not aligned

That would force them to reveal it's sources (unconsented scraping) hence make them liable for any potential lawsuits. As such they would need to withdraw from revealing sources

Depends on what you did! Say for example they're using Graphene to harass/paedophilia then they already have a copious amount of evidence on hand since they are there.

For organising peaceful protests that seems less of an issue and the other end of the chats is the weak link.

I already like you sir.

Good luck having them delete your data cuz they didn't delete mine.

Tracking how many users you have and how many of them visit an article is hardly any breach of privacy compared to what ad companies retain.

Use an open source solution about analytics and minimise data collection if not absolutely necessary.

The developer was threatened with legal action I last read so he was forced to takedown.

I fail to understand if a slap on the wrist is enough to defer these kids from the cookie. Legislation needs to be passed and a no second strike policy implemented where you lose the licence in the event they are found to be illegally serving any parties.

LineageOS without google is a good start if supported

Slow and steady is a better practice than going for the big ones outright.

People are not predictable and they need to be sure this wont affect their business by creating a trend. On second thought it is a bit surprising that no tiktok trend has exploded where they instruct people to block ads with uBlock.

DeGoogle your phone if you can.

I think is time to be proactive regarding privacy rather than just keep whining about it!

Maybe!

I learned the hard way to not take chances though!?

Surprise surprise!

I've yet to find someone good in the office since Kennedy!

Fancy charisma or not, all of them have some agenda to attend to that does not align with people's best interest.
