The "little steps" idea, though helpful in other places, doesn't really apply under surveillance capitalism. If one company gets some small bit of info about you they will sell that data to everyone else, and the government has access to those data as well. Being a little safer sometimes doesn't do much. You really have to go all the way or don't bother
