I think this shows how some seemingly trivial data points on an individual level can allow one to build something way more than the sum of parts at a mass surveillance level.
- exhilaration 9y agoI believe you're looking for Settings > Account > Privacy > Status > Only Share with... And select no contacts on that screen. This is on the Android app, I'm not familiar with the web version.
