I've effectively excised fb from my life and i'm becomming kinda proud since so many people still struggle with that one.

credit cards, debit cards, and now cashless vendors

FWIW in Belgium you can get prepaid nameless cards. The post and their bank partner know it's yours (due to KYC) but not the shops and for online shops you can use drop boxes.

For membership cards I specifically reject because of that. It's optional though so IMHO it's precisely the easiest thing to escape, just say no.

I wonder if its illegal to put some clear coating on license plates to prevent AI cameras from scanning it?

it's so dystopian when I travel to countries where cashless vendors are a thing. Recently Germany took me by surprise, they have been a bastion of cash for a long time, and during my last trip there were many restaurants with "no cash accepted" signs. Just like in the UK or Norway where privacy is already a lost cause

You can escape the big tech tracking by installing uBlock Origin in your browser, and if you use their services, disabling personalised ads and search/activity history in their accounts.

Which company if I may ask? Name and schame... Honestly I would leave such a invasive company. It is not worth it.
