A facebook employee explained me how tracking works. Its not the email address Meta is concerned about. Its the IP, device identifiers and location. Meta doesnt care about the email at all apart from sending you emails for notification. Even with a fake email they exactly know who you are. Let’s say you visit CNN.com which has facebook tracker. Facebook has the IP and the device identifiers. Now you login with fake email account on Instagram, facebook knows that’s the IP ans the same device hence it “must” be the same person That’s how facebook creates shadow profiles.
Proton VPN is free and there is also riseup VPN. I run a tor node so I can at least vouch for that one 🙂. The more people that use it and run nodes the more it normalizes it. You can also use onion repos in your distro if supported. I know Debian had had then for a few years now and it uses the apt-transport-tor package.
I’m sorry to be stupid but idk what a tor node is. I have tor but I don’t know what is meant by ‘running a tor node’. I also don’t know what the phrase “you can also use onion repos in your distro if supported” means. I am wondering if you can help me out? I am a noob.
