I was more thinking about 3rd parties using Microsoft, Google, Facebook logins for their shit, so can get tracked even better

But, yes, you're right

    Yeah... I'm currently really shocked and afraid of the ongoing push of chat control on Europe as well
    That will be a major impact on privacy and without reason
    And they just try again and again - they don't even have a pause, they just start again and hope, that it will go through one time

    Not sure how to escape it, and if, you are already labelled a terrorist
    Like Spanish police looks if you have a pixel with GrapheneOS, because then they think you're a drug dealer

    Or years ago the apartment of a guy in Vienna got raided and all his work IT devices confiscated, just because he ran a remote VPS as Tor exit node

    Not sure what we can do

    I grew up in the internet and it was a great place.
    Now people without any knowledge want to take this all away...
