You mean with the USA Intel or AMD CPUs?
Think that it doesn't matter what you use as OS as the microchip inside the CPU chip can read anything it wants
I'll just make my own cpu with a breadboard and a few wires!
Sure. Although that's just a matter of unplugging your computer from the Internet. Also, at least in theory, Linux isn't actively leaking all your data into various Cloud services. Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive are just invitations for the NSA to paw through your file system.
I just can't imagine how Linux protects you from posting on Facebook.
It wont protect there.
Also, I remember articles back then mentioning 5G Towers could create a dystopia because every company could easily put a 5G chip into the product and secretly track you regardless of Wifi.
