    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 practice, privacywise, for using blatantly statesponsored Chinese spyware or that there’s any helping you if you’re still on X.
