Rich, if you dig a lil' bit deeper into and get a bit clearer about this, you can do a lot to mitigate Google's or any other corporate tracking of your online presence and offline activities.
Mike, True that.
1. Airplane mode - I keep my phone in airplane mode unless I'm using it or expecting a call.
In the office/house the mobile phone sits on the desk or table. When I'm out it's in a faraday cage pouch until I want to make a call or am expecting one.
2. There are plenty of non-Google options for mail, search, Duck Duck Go,Maps, Open Street Maps and the list goes on.
Which is why I a) use the mobile phone for only voice calls and SMS messages and b) run postfix and have my own domains, and have been aware of privacy issues for years. But, that's not the focus of my business so I'm aware there's always more to learn.
3. EFF's Self Defense Kit - https://ssd.eff.org/ If you're not familiar with it and privacy, anonymity, security are important to you, I'd highly spend some time getting familiar with it and learning how to apply it to your online activities and your life.
Good to know. I'll look into it. Stay well, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
