Yes. But that pricing would be terrible; I am pretty sure the stated numbers are far from maximum total profit - at some point, even Hollywood execs turn down deals. And number of deals is a factor in total profits (multiplication).

Chances are, when you order something online, you have some Big Tech e-mail account that is not end-to-end-encrypted (because e-mail very rarely is). So, your bill from buying medical devices or drugs will be available as plaintext to Big T

My advice is only actionable for others, not OP. You should have backups on places other than the phone. I warmly recommend andOTP for managing your TOTPs. It's open source and available on F-Droid. https://f-droid.org/

Even for personal accounts, KYC regulation implies all personal data go to a handful of centralized exchanges, which incentivizes malicious hackers. In Romania, I will resort to notaries and LocalBitcoins/classifieds for trading BTC. I

I suspect the most vile and graphic content was confidently classified by the AI. The difficult part, where you'd get the most out of human labeling of data, is the grey area where the models diverge or are uncertain.
