    The whole point of a lot of these unique identifiers is that they’re anonymous so they can legally collect more data on you.

    The goal is that you can’t reverse the ID to find the person, because then it ceases to be personally identifiable information.

            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…
