Coming from someone who uses neither currently but has used Facebook before, I think it’s more to do with the fact that people are used to Facebook, Google and other companies collecting data. Facebook does a ton of lobbying to tell you just how much they value privacy.

Facebooks data policies are supposed to follow US law. As you already mentioned, I won’t go any further on that. With a foreign country that isn’t exactly super friendly with the US, they could use this same data against citizens. You have no real GDPR, or US privacy laws to protect you if China decides to target a diplomats family or whatever.

For most people, it’s probably not going to affect you either way, but because data is something we really don’t understand the full value of. As an Example, ethnic groups could be targeted and tiktok can be used as a data source.

With the whole Facebook being used to potentially manipulate elections, Tiktok could be as well and the US/other countries have even less they can do to stop it.

But a lot of the hate that you’re seeing on the news is playing into China bad and not really casting light that they are okay with US companies collecting the same data.

Sounds like do not track +

Cheap earphones won’t hurt your ears. Volume is the only real source of damage to your ears.

A simple thing you can do is be informed on what data google is tracking on your phone.

If you are signed into a Google account on your phone, you should check your Google dashboard: https://myaccount.google.com/intro/dashboard and make sure to turn off any tracking you don’t want. You can also request your data is deleted through the dashboard or through Google takeout.

If you stay with the built in OS and you can also get away from a Google account (don’t sign into a Google account on the phone), you’re tracked less, but that’s a bit challenging for many.

Depending on if you could have a print shop make one for you, maybe a white flag with the Klingon-cardasian alliance emblem instead?

Along the same vein, here’s all the cannon emblems according to the wiki

If you are genuinely curious, theres a collection of articles published by the Atlantic. It deals with the US but seems relevant to your question.

Why not just have them email sealed bids?

I don’t think it’s an issue to remove part of the web. I’ve got spiders outside that tend to keep blocking the entryway and I have to destroy parts that get in the way of the path. They’re usually back within a day or so.

For a more solid answer, the link below describes moving spiders entirely by relocating part of the web with the spider. I think trimming the web is going to be less stressful than that.
