Not all, but some will and that's good enough. Security and privacy is all about layers, not guaranteed solutions.
That said, if you have "business" with a company, they are probably using your registered home address to understand how to deal with your local laws/regulations. e.g. If you're using a registered google account and don't have an address in a state that offers protection, its very unlikely they'll extend any privacy policies to you just because your IP says you're in California, for example.
OTOH, if you don't have a registered address/account/profile and your IP is coming out of California, its possible some companies will apply stricter policies based on your preference.
To your original point though, yes, shady companies will continue to behave in unethical ways.

I upload any suspicious files to virustotal.com.
And a lot of those require models that are multiple Gigabytes in size that then need to be loaded into memory and are processed on a high end video card that would generate enough heat to ruin your phones battery if they could somehow shrink it to fit inside a phone. This just isn't feasible on phones yet. Is it technically possible today? Yes, absolutely. Are the tradeoffs worth it? Not for the average person.
anyone background in this field able to chime in on how accurate this is? I read it briefly and looked up alpha/omega and the "chi-rho" but not sure how they got that out of some random blotches that are barely visible. Seems like generous interpretation may have been used. I can see how they may be able to verify its a tattoo by looking at the materials the blotch is made of, but superimposing an image of what it "is" seems like a stretch to me without knowing more about this.
Was he ever a favorite
Exactly what I was thinking.
A lot of the cookie notifications can't collect data until you accept them (or follow their annoying "opt-out" workflow). If you install UBlock Origin and go to its settings > 'Filter lists' and enable the "EasyList - Cookie Notices" you can block a lot of cookies. If they can never nag you and you never opt in, assuming they're following the law, you shouldn't be tracked.
oooo cool, thanks!
Likely because while simplex looks great and is very promising, it doesn't add much to the conversation here. Signal is primarily a replacement for SMS/MMS, this means people generally would want their contacts readily available and discoverable to minimize the friction of securely messaging friends/family. Additionally it's dangerous to be recommending a service that hasn't been audited nor proven itself secure over time.
