This guy has an interesting perspective on that topic. He provides good points on how what you're saying could be wrong

sic_semper_tyrannis , 6 days ago to Privacy in Are there any guides, tutorials or similar on how to use Steam more privately?

I don't know of a guide but I'd suggest making a new anonymous account (email and privacy card) but make sure it's created while using a VPN (for that initial IP log) and then continue to use it on a VPN (don't forget DNS in general too). Then be sure to be on Linux and use the Flatpak as it's a sandboxed application. I read a thread about viruses in a Proton environment and how they can still access other parts of your system so there may be a weak point in the sandbox with Proton, but I'm no expert and have little knowledge on the subject.

In addition to other things people responded with, piracy services tend to not collect users data or prevent us from watching with a VPN enabled.

I remembered seeing the video in my feed but never watched it. I just checked again and it's not there. Must have been removed

sic_semper_tyrannis , 23 days ago to Privacy in How much should an organisation reveal about a data breach?

Everything. Data breaches/leaks happen all the time. The more these companies have to admit what happened and be shamed and fined the more they will care about security for their customers.

To add to this I'd also pay attention to the Android version that the OS is based on. Last I checked e/OS is a few versions outdated. GrapheneOS works very very well, you (OP) just have to understand how to set it up for your use case.

sic_semper_tyrannis , 24 days ago to Privacy in How to Quit Google, According to a Privacy Expert

I agree. I don't know why people believe Apple and their privacy fasaude. There is plenty of evidence to show they're a monopoly on the data to make all the money for themselves, as well as closed source means you can't trust or verify anything they claim.

Fairly decent advice in my opinion

sic_semper_tyrannis , 26 days ago to Privacy in What's the best messaging platform?

"Best" is subjective. I like Signal because it has a great modern UI so I can pretty easily get non techy/privacy people using it.

Did you sign up with a VPN turned on? Are you always using a VPN and private DNS? You could also use a voice changer.
