We need an online guide, based on make and model, on how to disable the transmission of this data.

As someone who has worked fraud and online investigations, and both written and served search warrants; it is not an option. A probable cause affidavit is presented to a judge and if the judge agrees there is sufficient probable cause, a search warrant is issued. This is an order by the judge and not optional. The judge can hold the company in contempt if they refuse to obey his/her order.

"helped" is very misleading. Companies can't refuse to provide information they have when served a search warrant / court order. These companies DID NOT choose to provide the info on their own.

Can I add it to my Amazon wish list?

Why would you want to??

Regarding: "On Android you can use [Stealth] . That's what I use for searches that pull up Reddit posts."

The stealth protocol does not have anything to do with accessing individual sites or services. The purpose of stealth is when trying to estata VPN connection to a provider that does not allow VPNs. For example, a public wifi that blocks VPN connections or some countries that require ISPs to block VPN connections.

Anytype has responded and I had a couple other clarifying questions. Their first response:

"Hi! In our privacy policy we include Amplitude & Sentry & explain why we work with them: anytype.io/app_privacy. Currently, you can opt-out by electing local-only or self-hosted network Mode"

Sentry is only used for bug tracking and I don't have any issue or privacy concerns with that.

I had already looked on their website for a privacy policy and the only one I could locate was a website only privacy policy. I learned later that the application privacy policy is buried as a link somewhere within the website privacy policy. This is not very easy to find.

I reviewed the application privacy policy and it conflicted with their answer stating that a user could opt out of information sharing with Amplitude by using "local only" or "self-hosted". So I pointed this out and posted this reply to them:

"Also, app privacy policy section for Amplitude states: Amplitude Analytics Purpose: deliver behavioral and app usage data. Opt-out possible: NO"

This is the response I received:

"Indeed this is outdated information, as it was written before self-hosting and local-only mode were properly configurable. Opt-out is now possible using these methods, and we will be updating the policy accordingly."

Reach out to the job sites directly and report these as fraudulent. Ask them to remove the resume postings.

Also consider making accounts for her on these sites, may make it easier to prevent future posting and to remove any that do appear.

Then, since it sounds like you are her lawyer. Subpoena these sites for information on account, email address, IP address used for the fraudulent posts.

Agreed, grab AntennaPod from the f-droid store.

I looked at some of these on my own and found:

  • graylog provides data privacy and protection services for companies offering software as a service (SaaS). So this seems legit to me and needed for their core functionality. It is not a marketing or data analytics company.

  • amplitude appears to be a data analytics company and on the surface is not needed and Anytype should explain this.

  • sentry appears to be an application error tracking company and this seems a legit connection

  • api2 seems like a generic server name and likely needed for their core functionality, this seems legit to me

  • telemetry also seems like a generic server name; however, the purpose, based on its name does not seem to be needed. Anytype should explain this as well.

I've contacted Anytype about this and will post their response.

I run Graphene OS on my phone and have an always on VPN connection. Plus I use a different email address, username, and password for 99% of my accounts. So I don't worry about telemetry, analytics, or data marketing anymore.

Agreed, they are continually improving it

I purchased a brand new Xbox wireless controller. It paired with my steam deck easily but it will not connect and the "X" button on the controller keeps flashing. I've hit every button on the controller and can't get it to actually connect. I've also rebooted the steam deck.

Any help would be appreciated...
