Are you using any google services? Google search? Gmail? Or any of their apps? Then you are being manipulated, probably without realizing it. Here is a worthwhile read / video by Dr. Mercola on his website: https://articles.mercola.com/
His articles have the bad habit of disappearing from the internet through censorship, so here is his interview and a pdf of the article saved from his website.
One point Dr. Mercola mentions is this: “Google’s “autocomplete” feature on its search engine can turn a 50/50 split among undecided voters into nearly a 90/10 split — all without people realizing they’re being manipulated”.
Take Steps Now
Here are a few ideas on how to protect your privacy, directly from Dr. Mercola’s website.
“Epstein has compiled six steps that can help protect your privacy online, noting that he hasn’t received a targeted ad on his computer or mobile phone since 2014 as a result. To take back some of your online privacy, for yourself as well as your children, he recommends:17
- Get rid of Gmail. If you have a Gmail account, try a non-Google email service instead such as ProtonMail, an encrypted email service based in Switzerland.
- Uninstall Google Chrome and use Bravebrowser instead, available for all computers and mobile devices. It blocks ads and protects your privacy.
- witch search engines. Try Brave search engine instead, which you can access on the Brave browser and will not compromise your privacy and surveil you.
- Avoid Android. Google phones and phones that use Android track virtually everything you do and do not protect your privacy. It’s possible to de-Google your cellphone by getting an Android phone that doesn’t have a Google operating system, but you’ll need to find a skilled IT person who can reformat your cellphone’s hard drive.
- Avoid Google Home devices. If you have Google Home smart speakers or the Google Assistant smartphone app, there’s a chance people are listening to your requests, and even may be listening when you wouldn’t expect.
- Consider using a proxy or VPN (Virtual Private Network). This service creates a buffer between you and the internet, “fooling many of the surveillance companies into thinking you’re not really you.”
