Mir fällt auf, dass man bei der Anmeldung für simple Workshops* immer mal wieder sein Geburtsdatum eingeben muss.

Völlig unverständlich.

Noch unverständlicher: Als ich zu anderen Teilnehmenden meinte, ich hätte ein falsches Geburtsdatum angegeben, schauten die mich mit großen Augen an. Meinten: Vielleicht möchte die Trainerin zum Geburtstag gratulieren?

An dieser Stelle habe ich gemerkt, dass das Weiterreden keinen Sinn ergibt.

If found liable, Meta could face over 1 trillion USD in damages. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/will-meta-be-found-guilty-of-driving-social-media-addiction/828553/ #Media #SocialMedia #DataPrivacy

Say there is a person that I'd like to not know my whereabouts... not a stalker, but let's say a bad breakup between friends/colleagues. Would a personal data removal service, like #DeleteMe or #Incogni help?

Does anyone on the Fedi have experience with them? Do you have a recommendation? What did you use? What was your experience like? (assume price is not an issue)

Boosts welcome :boostRequest:

Delete all chats when you are done.

Log out of accounts when you don’t use them.

Clear your history after every session.

Remove everything that you think is unnecessary.

Keep a minimal footprint in the online world.

Once it’s there, it doesn’t easily go away.

So the quicker you remove it, the better.

Redact anything that doesn’t serve you anymore.

Both locally and online.

Wash every online entity you have.

Especially the ones that you don’t use anymore.

You will thank yourself one day.

Start afresh.

Besides, it’s just online etiquette.

These are very simple steps.

Shouldn’t take much time to implement.

Maintain your digital hygiene.
