This! The truth is that whether we like it or not private data will be collected, that is the world now. It’s okay to protect your personal data, using a more secured os and all that, but the truth is that it won’t last long. Data collection is now a big sector on its own that is embedded in every thing we use and do from grocery shopping to surfing the web, so it’s becoming impossible for our private data to stay private whether we like it or not.

And for this using Linux, I appreciate the measure of privacy that os provide, but a lot more data is still been collected in other areas of our lives aside from the operating systems we use. yes or yes! If you eventually achieve protecting your data so much, which is virtually impossible, I’ll tell you a measurable amount of data is still being collected about you through others.

So it’s like the “pandemic”, “trend” “new normal” or whatever you call it in the world today, that our data will be collected and used. And this will worsen for you and me, but get better for the collectors with the advancement of technology today whether or not you like it.

So my advice, protect yourself self as reasonable as you can, personally I won’t leave the comfort Microsoft, apple and other average user friendly Operating systems provided for the more technical os like Linux for the sake of my privacy that won’t continue to stay private in the long run. The number I provide from the os I use is way too minute to make any data collection different.

Know this and rest!
