I used the guide abine delete me gives freely, for diy. It’s not that I don’t trust the service, I’m just not going to give 'em enough rope to hang me.
… the first abuse that can happen is the fact that you would entrust somebody like discover or even delete me for that matter enough to permit them to browse the internet on one’s behalf and collect data on your behalf under the auspice that they will not fall themselves to later corruption…
…remember wasn’t Facebook all chummy in 2008 …weren’t these great tools for Amazon too? Ya know… all there to help you shop better all there to help you get what you want? Back then it was products and exposure to your friends… now they’re trying to sell you privacy? my behimd they are… So do you think for a second this propensity to pimp another chump stoooge out as a product is gonna magically dissipate? As in the saying goes : if it’s free you’re the product…
I’m not advocating hypervigilance OCD or mental health problems as a result of Suspicion paranoia and delusionality.no… after all creating a mentally ill population is also part of the chilling effect and social engineering which is exactly what they want and by then I mean the power Brokers and I’ll leave that to anybody’s own private value system as to how they arrive at who the real culprits are, and definitely it’s up to individual to choose to do what they want to do about it. I have no say in that matter
… rather I am just stating my own opinion about how I handle my own privacy matters… and I respect anybody on a genuine privacy journey… if that is you then I absolutely do wish you the best for navigating and finding out how you have been hacked and what you can do about it… but similar to threat models it’s very personal on what somebody perceives as a threat and perceives as their own sense of security without having a false sense of security…
In some respects the Privacy journey is simply by its nature of necessity to be a hard road to hoe with a lot of do-it-yourself type of stuff… in other words to task out or to delegate is already putting a variable in there that come back and get you… human nature betrayal deceit mutinizing commandeering and so forth is exactly the type of behavior that has relegated itself to land most people in a highly compromised environment of personal information… so I respect the headache one takes on to pursue privacy…
I say this also about the mission of tech law to educate people one at a time and then eventually advocate for change in either policy and or technology itself to mitigate these violations which are the necessary life blood of a totalitarian police state… because if they cannot track and surveil they cannot police and if they cannot police and they cannot descend Humanity into automata which is exactly what is required for mandatory compliant behavior and enforced behavioral modification through deprivations
