I've long given up on keeping my data safe. What I mean is I try and restrict who has what data and provide junk when necessary but after awhile, there's only so much you can do.

So I've done the opposite: I've made it impossible for them to use my data to target me. I block ads on all of my browsers, I regularly reset my advertising ID, and I hope that the amount of trash data I feed makes it even more useless.

One day, I'll set up some sort of home server and use next cloud or something and finally move off of Google's garden.
