using the settings you described ( minus the VPN ) I was not able to cloak myself over the past several days
Yes, some guy was streaming live on YouTube talking about a subject that he does not otherwise have, and he showed that before talking about the subject, there were no ads for dog toys, and after talking about dogs, there were ads about dog toys. The video isn't really that great because he goes and clicks on an ad about a dog toy and proceeds to get more of them, so he kind of tainted his results.
I wish I didn't waste my time watching this video

how did you have such success?
thanks.
The last gleam of hope I had was last year when John Oliver did an episode on data brokers. He in turn went and purchased data that would match congressmen in the D.C. area, along with their "interests." He jokingly threatened to release it (bc congressmen tend to act on an issue if it affects them personally). I thought that would be huge, everybody would see how rampant and invasive data collection would be. I was thrilled for a breakthrough.
but so far no movement, hasn't been released. I wonder if people wrote to John Oliver and his team if we will get an answer haha
I feel so powerless, so hopeless.
Bills aren't being passed by lawmakers because like many of us who care about privacy, they have not heard about the abilities of data brokers and have no visibility into how rampant and disgusting and invasive their behavior is.
Friends and family I talk to don't care. "Oh well, what are they going to do, find me personally?"
I feel if people were able to look themselves up
in these databases, they would fear it as well
reminds me of the John Oliver episode on Data Brokers where he started buying up data on senators in an effort to get better regulations about tracking data and aggregation bc that seems to be the only way they want to pass bills. Their interests > interests of the people they should be representing
I would recommend finding a company with a solid internship program and use the internship program to get your foot in the door and get hired. Companies like Cloudflare, VMWare or other with a security interest have strong internship programs.
Point is, using internships is arguably easier to get in. Many college students, myself included, used internships just to get any experience. But what you really want to strive for is interning where you want to work and kicking butt.
well written from Cloudflare's side. Unbiasly blamed each party involved (including itself) for mistakes each party made. Recommend the long read to whoever stumbles across this

, i see that there are only 73 subscribers. Clicking on your link get take to a page that says 6.27k subscribers. Any idea why there is a discrepancy in. Is something with federation going wonky?
if you're not doing any weird shit at home, why have blinds in your windows?
honestly, having a spare phone that sits at home is a great solution. Your main phone can be a native pixel/grapheneos (not lineage, graphene has no issues with feature comparability). And the spare phone at run all the apps for, idk, your robot vaccum, smart home, etc. At home you have more control of data and connectivity.
we all have old phones that can be used as spares. My 8 yr old phone is the "remote control" for my house. Using accounts that don't tie to me, on it's own vlan, pi-holed, etc
I saw V2 extensions will be disabled but in my lack of webdev experience I fail to point to what is prohibitive in V3 that uBlock Origin cannot migrate to.
Anyone have a better understanding and can clue us in?
