see when I was an extremely stupid teenager I got given a free USB stick at a Fashion Week event held by the CHINESE EMBASSY and I used it for years, so I feel very relaxed about probably millions of people having access to every single thing I've ever done online
It all depends a bit on your threat model. My concern comes out of the war on terror years and the trend for UK governments to suppress protest and police opinion, plus now the shift in the British right towards open authoritarianism. There's a lot of lists I'd rather not be on in 2030.
oh yeah that's entirely fair, I was mostly being daft - I do think that ultimately, though, unless you're really deciding to be Very Offline there's just going to be a level of info out about you that you can't do much about, so eg age verification on here isn't the end of the world
Yeah, you're not wrong, I just obfuscate habitually - I get the weirdest collection of accurate and bonkers online ads - and as I say: I have an irrational annoyance about this specific thing which I'm obviously going to put aside BUT SULK LOUDLY ABOUT :)
