I’m glad for the switch. Buuuut it doesn’t work like that.
You search cars heavily. You and your Mum have FB/social media. You have Bluetooth or location or WiFi on. Social knows your hanging out and likely to discuss cars. It shows them ads.
A tech podcast did a dive into this. It even works if your partner and mum arnt connected on social media. Imagine your Mum lives interstate. Mum searches plane tickets and is coming in a month, during the time she searches perfumes but doesn’t buy. A few days before arrival your partner gets perfume ads from a place nearby. When mum lands she talks about getting perfume. Partner has been primed where to go.
Its insidious. Graphine will help a little but if you use the internet there is still tracking.
My phone carrier requires an app to change plans. I installed it in a separate profile then the next day got ads for it in FB.
Can you elaborate on how to get get Monero and hide then transaction from BigData/Gov?
I’ve seen some of the basic steps but I imagine the Gov/Bank see me transfer money to a Monero.
They see that Monero account pay for ServiceX. They then see ServiceX coming from my IP (a VPN might precent this). Or they see ServiceX used by an account that is linked to me. Or they see a number of services paid for by the same Monero account.
Using a VPN is not always possible.
I’ve also seen machines that take cash but imagine these have CCTV to prevent theft and many link to me even harder.
