How is your privacy breached?

Our online activities are constantly monitored and tracked in many ways
GPS tracking of our locations (Google Maps, iOS maps, waze…)
Logging into our smartphones once we have purchased them automatically shows our every action and behaviour
Every single app on our phones also collects our data on us using several different approaches (access contacts, messages, gallery, microphone etc.)
Social media platforms also create virtual profiles of each individual and they can be used to target us with specific ads and even manipulate our way of thinking
Smart devices like Alexa, apple and android watches record our behaviour, voice and many physical parameters

How do we take our privacy and power back?

Realise the implications of having our lives constantly monitored by the biggest corporations like Google and Apple.
Technology has become too comfortable
Change our behaviours
Rely less on technology and more on our own skills
Use technology with more intent and purpose
Understand that our lives exist in the real world and we don’t need to prove it by posting it on social media in order to make it real

What to do in practical terms?

Delete Facebook and other social media accounts or use them with caution without sharing all your life on it (become an observer)
Delete WhatsApp and use Telegram instead
Stop using smart devices like Alexa, Apple and google watches
Stop using Apple devices and most importantly iPhones
Stop using Google devices unless they are de-googled
