didnt work for me

I've always obsessively kept my photos off any cloud provider for years only to discover that the entire rest of the family have a treasure trove of fully tagged pictures of me uploaded to every major provider out there. In most cases I think it even ties the tag to my phone/email/birthday entry in their Contacts list.

Here I am: :-D

so is menero if anyone is thinking of switching (their host country's equivalent)

They want to be able to link web fingerprints to childre n so they can target and exploit them.

Because we have reached some sort of critical mass of ad blocking and anonymization online, enough that it's starting to hurt the bottom line, so they need a solid way to track people for that shit.

Also, the US is currently being run by a rabid pack of puritan Christo fascists, ie Project 2025. Right now it's "protect the children", but ultimately the idea is to track and sensor and "reeducate" people.

"Oh, you search for 'signs I am gay'? Better report to God Camp."

Don't even think about trying to be anything that does not fit in the box.

To protect the children

Better really, really late than never.
