Due to the giant GOPstrich in the room. I have switched to linux and been actively trying to learn as much computer science as possible. I set up a TOR relay using Librewolf as the browser, using socks5 to send data from the browser, through the network. As an experiment, I asked Microsoft's AI where I was and it immediately returned my city. I tried again using a VPN, with a different browser and it still got it right. So, I wanted to ask, how can we limit the telemetry collected by these programs? How can we better limit their ability to spy on us?

Right, but as a counterpoint. The French weren't facing certain global annihilation brought on by Megacorporations who convinced every person in the world to voluntarily spy on themselves for the last 2 decades in order to amass more power, wealth and influence than every individual country in the world. Those, whose mere existence has accelerated global warming to the point that the purposeful act of ecocide has become their main goal, after they force us into world war 3, strip mine the globe for resources in order to fuck off and terraform Mars. All to live out a South African-Apartheidist-with-a-botched-penis-implant's grandfather's wet dream of enslaving humanity into a technocratic hellscape before Larping the provably erroneous Ugenix "hypothesis" of hyper-diffusion. So, you know, maybe give The French Revolution a break?

It's a psyop, don't take it seriously. Even now, rhetoric is being sowed across online platforms to fuel the non-existent culture war. Just a distraction from the billionaires actively overthrowing democracy using the global surveillance networks of Google, Meta, Amazon and X. Collect all the information if everyone in the world, create AI in order to be able to search and use that data against anyone who poses a threat. That's what it's all been about, don't get distracted by it.
