I was listening to a podcast that was talking about needs and wants and how many millennials think a lot of things are needs that aren't. That made me think that so many people think cell phones are needs when they aren't. Then I thought that since the government has mandated 2 factor authentication for things, a cell phone has almost become mandatory.

Being a pessimist and someone who doesn't trust government, it made me think "did the government mandate 2FA so everyone had to own their own cell phone which would then enable the government to track everyone?"

It kind of makes you go "hmmm".

Privacy with your devices demands a shift in approach. With increased connectivity and data sharing, safeguarding your personal information is vital. Start by educating yourself about the privacy settings and features of your devices and applications. Take advantage of encryption tools, secure passwords, and biometric authentication to lock your devices and apps. Regularly review and adjust app permissions to limit data access. Consider using virtual private networks (VPNs) to anonymize your online activities. Embrace anonymous browsing options like Tor for heightened privacy. Beware of phishing attempts and exercise caution when sharing personal information online. Employ ad blockers and tracking prevention tools to reduce data collection.

Lastly, stay informed about evolving privacy regulations and opt for services and products that prioritize user privacy. While it may require diligence and adaptation, maintaining privacy in the digital age remains achievable.

I'm doing most of that. I want to get a degoogled phone because, if you have an android or iphone, there is only so much you can do. I haven't gotten around to getting the degoogled phone due to cost and the effort required to learn it and set it up to work for me, but hopefully soon.

On point.
