I'm with both of you. I was an early ProtonMail and ProtonVPN supporter and for years would only chat to family members over Signal. I'm conscious of how my phone can track me and of the benefits of using cash. But I still can't see how avoiding Disney tracking is for her kids' "safety". The Mouse doesn't loom so large in my mind. And I can't judge family members for making the judgment call that they don't really care what Facebook and Google collect about their online activity.

The point is not to be paranoid about what will happen if data leak, the point is to stick to "I don’t want my data shared without my consent" and see what happens. We badly need more experiment like those because this tell a lot about our society! It’s exactly like vegan diets. You have moral principles and you try to see how far/how difficult it is to apply them. This also helps other realize what is happening/what they are missing. I admire her because I would be like her before having kids. As they say: "I had principles. Now I have kids.".
