To expand on this. If you are talking about anything online it is not private. That doesn't matter if it's in a WhatsApp chat, a telegram chat, a Lemmy post, a Facebook feed, etc. as soon as it hits a computer if someone wants to see it they will. There's just hurdles to get it.

If you want anonymity stop using computers.

Ain’t this the truth.

Here’s story about a serial killer being caught by a floppy drive’s meta data.

Few things more fun than telling people who harp about vaccines being tracking chips that if they're worried about tracking they should ditch their smartphone, and watching them rage.

You mean the always-on GPS-enabled internet-connected microphone and camera which is also likely Bluetooth and NFC beaconing and contains all of my most personal data including my name, contacts, unencrypted chats facilitated by major cell phone carriers, photos, emails, and other personal files which are also likely synced with a cloud service operated by major multi-national corporations, and also stores biometric data such as facial recognition, fingerprints, time spent sleeping, and even heart rate and number of steps taken assuming you have "fitness" features enabled?

With those last couple items, these massive companies that regularly share data with law enforcement are literally tracking your every step and nearly every beat of your heart.

Well don't worry about that, I've got Express VPN.
