why?

    the data they have on me isn’t the type to be useful to them

    do you have a phone?

    do you have a car that was manufactured after 2015?

    does your ISP know your real name?

    do you have a bank account?

    I guarantee you there’s already more of your data out there than you’re comfortable with.

      Outside of the car (mines a 90’s model) none of that is even remotely avoidable even if you went totally FOSS. Your ISP still needs your info and you’ll still use some kind of bank or credit union.

        is exactly the point I was trying to make to the guy who was like “I just use Linux and put a fake name on my GrubHub orders”
