    Many people know and are concerned, but feel helpless to stop it or guard against it.

      Helping them see that it isn’t an all-or-nothing task seems smart. Even improving their privacy by 5% each year may add up. I personally put it off because I thought it was too hard, so broke the tasks down into smaller chunks. I still need to get rid of Google and at least stop commenting on Youtube so much - especially on controversial topics. But, allowing myself to climb this privacy mt. everest step-by-step is what allowed me to begin. Its a daunting task considering new tracking tactics are created so often now. Techlore’s channel on YT is how I begun - he breaks it down in a cute, simplistic way.

        I feel that once the data is out there, you can’t put it back in the bag.
