Also, it’s not “all times”, it’s just when I’m at school.
Honestly that’s weirder lol
Just so you don’t skip school? eh whatever. If you don’t mind it then who cares
Anyhow good luck

For whatever it’s worth, your parents requirement that you let them track you at all times just to go to school, is not actually particularly reasonable. Less than 10 years ago that would have been seen as insane helicopter parent behavior. But that’s probably outside your control, so if they won’t budge on it you could at least ask them to use an app that isn’t google maps. This would work if you were willing to self host it or something, or OsmAnd seems to have it integrated with telegram
The drone you can probably replace DJI Fly with sideloaded Dronelink: …dronelink.com/…/15304402363411-Mini-3-Mini-3-Pro… but no guarantees it will work better on graphene than DJI Fly
As far as instagram you’re pretty much stuck with trying to push people off of it for messaging afaik, or just locking down the app as much as you can. A VPN could prevent them from seeing your IP, and locking down the app’s permissions as much as possible would be a good idea too, but honestly the main thing is to just push for a different messenger. I got my friend group to switch a few times over the years. But it took a long time
- Comment on Hong Kong: First European citizen jailed under National Security Law 7 months ago:
John, 41, had previously been the head of a little-known group calling itself the Hong Kong Independence Party, where he operated the group’s Facebook and other social media accounts as well as a UK-registered website.
The group advocated for foreign intervention in China’s rule over Hong Kong following the 2019 pro-democracy protests.
In the wake of Beijing’s crackdown on protest, the group called for the “UK and US to send troops to Hong Kong” with online posts about petitions for foreign intervention and crowdfunding for an independent Hong Kong army.
Regardless of how unsuccessful they were, this was the head of a secessionist political group, calling out for foreign invasion and raising money to physically fight the state… That being illegal is pretty normal. Even in the US, while the speech might be allowed, the latter part would not. Groups have been raided by the FBI for much less.
