I'm not sure to what extent this works better than not clicking on anything at all:

Given that there's already a quantity of data about me on the internet from before my "privacy adoption", the brokers already have an idea about me. If i stopped clicking on ads, that idea would remain frozen in time with my preferences from that time.

If I started clicling on everything to poison that profile, couldn't the brokers just filter the period when i started clickning everything? In that case, their profile of me would again remain the same they had when I stopped clicking at all, am I right on this?

"But they are stored locally! Certainly, Microsoft won't have access to those, right? Right???"

Hopefully, it will become a new incredible emulation platform when jailbroken, as the other two.

Normally, 12ft.io works, you just need to put the url after theirs and will get a non paywalled link, like this https://12ft.io/https://www.alternet.org/alternet-exclusives/trump-trojan-horse/

Otherwise, use ublook and block javascript, it will work most of the times

Afaik, with proton you can send messages that won't open through gmail if you protect them with a password. The other person receives a message with a link to open the mail in a browser after entering the password. It's not the easiest solution but if you want to avoid gmail from knowing the contents of a message, you can do that.

And just as I started considering one of their plans. Well, I guess this reduces the time I must consider it to zero.

I don't get the sarcasm? What other thing is good for a klan flyer?

 

The new "Omnibus" law in italy tries to block piracy by basically creating a situation in which you will face jail time if you get caught watching an illegal streaming (or your IP does) and ISP and IP providers (they name VPN and DNS services) will face jail time too if they don't notify the authorities of "illegal activity" done by their users.

E.g. if I watch a soccer streaming from a pirate site, apparently, my VPN provider (in this case, Proton) will have to notify the authorities that I am watching that pirated content.

This is madness in so many ways, starting by the fact that the law implies that both my ISP and my VPN provider must spy my traffic to see if I am watching any illegal content.

I wanted to know if Proton has anything to say about all of this for their Italian customers. How are you guys going to face this? Will you simply stop providing the service? Will you ignore the law because you are not an italian company? Or will you spy our traffic to see if we are watching a soccer game?

I'm quite worried right now about the implications of this law to my privacy. Not because I pirate content but because the punishement for those who don't notify the authorities means that to avoid legal problems, services like Proton will have to actually read our traffic.
