The promise of technology was to expand our horizons. In many ways, it kinda did. We got a lot of awesome shit. But we also got {waves hands vaguely at everything} this dystopia.

I love tech! But I hate techno-surveilance. There are things I don't do b/c of it. Or things I do less now.

For example. I wanted to volunteer on a trail maintaining crew. But they're all TF over FB and Tiktok. They put everyone's photos on there. Vids of ppl working. They coordinate on FB groups.

I give up conveniences like google maps. Esp when those conveniences come with baked in surveilance. My friends mock my paper map. But w/e.

I take less road trips than I want. I hate having all my travel logged by ALPR. Even driving an old ass car without onboard GPS.

Are there things you would do, but you don't, b/c of techno-dystopia? Or you do them less?

I used to do a lot of this, but that was long ago, before the Eternal September.

This gives me the impression that your security choices are somewhat capricious & vibes-based. You may want to consider a more analytical & methodical approach. Maybe take a page from cybersecurity.
