Normies/ Regulars feel safe as long as they can't see who's spying on them. That's whats going on here. Majority of Boomers have no idea how internet works, Millennials are still trying to understand but at least are aware of the shit google and Facebook does.

Being said that, what you can do is use a service like nextdns and setup DNS at router level and add the DNS to your phone. Now Block Facebook and any services that are offered by Google and Facebook.

Also dont forget to delete your google and Facebook account.

You think that Millennials, the generation that grew up during the transition in to our “internet is everywhere” world, struggle to understand this?

Ok there kid.

Sure, cos all the boomers use Tiktok. Thankfully the millennials are aware of Chinese spying on them.

Stop saying bullshit like this. Every generation thinks they are smarter than the previous one and it’s not true: most individuals are ignorant and a minority are smart in every generation, no matter what or how old, but youth gives an exacerbated sense of self-confidence making them believe they can control and know everything. But they simply lack enough mistakes in life to become humble and careful before talking.

When you think again about boomers, remember that THEY MADE THE FUCKING INTERNET.
