These link only clickbait posts irk me a little. First of all, I’m not going to take the bait. Second, I’m not going to use your ”privacy tool” without understanding it’s upside and having a tentative grasp of what it does and what data it uses. Third, I’m not convinced there are any best practices, privacy-wise, for using blatantly statesponsored Chinese spyware or that there’s any helping you if you’re still on X.
