How to have privacy these days :)
Privacy is important because advertisers' sole job is to learn how to manipulate your behavior. They want you to spend more on stuff you don't need, and will do anything to get you spending. When you use apps that sell your data, you provide advertisers with the information they need to make advertisement algorithms that specifically work on you. It's creepy and wrong!!
It only takes installing an app to stop them, so why not reclaim your privacy, freedom, & general right to not be treated as a product?
