How I tracked myself down using leaked location data in the in-app ads, and what I found along the way.

An amazing bit of digital detective work here. Seems like Linux mobile is your only off ramp from being exhaustively tracked

    That VPN provider will then know ALL the connections you make. Almost worse than just using the Internet normally.

      That’s an uninformed statement.

      You get to pick your provider. So pick one that you trust.

      It’s FAR better than without as your ISP is probably selling your traffic to third parties or at least monitoring it. Some VPNs don’t.
