These link only clickbait posts irk me a little. First of all, I’m not going to take the bait. Second, I’m not going to use your ”privacy tool” without understanding it’s upside and having a tentative grasp of what it does and what data it uses. Third, I’m not convinced there are any best practices, privacy-wise, for using blatantly statesponsored Chinese spyware or that there’s any helping you if you’re still on X.

It's mostly an advertisement, but the issue being discussed doesn't require you to have an account or visit X/TikTok

Yeah I don't sign up with anything that requires a phone #. Returned an iPhone for this reason years ago.
