You know, when my phone started turning itself on and eavesdropping on me, I de-Googled it, and now all it is is a phone... and I still don't trust it that far, so it has precautionary events occur to it every now and again.
I'm not crazy about 5G, either for or against. Your internet will only run as fast as the device attached to it, regardless of the bandwidth involved, so 5G has no draw for me - my internet already runs faster than my computer, and 5G won't up the ante even a little bit. Nor will 5G track me in any ways that I disallow it to. I'm thinking that kids these days don't understand the concept of a "bottleneck", and that's why the get all het up over 5G.
These hills block cell signals anyhow, and I don't care how strong or fast the signal is - when it hits the mountainside, that's where it stays.
Now the credit bureaus are a different matter. I cut all my cards in 1993, so I don't use credit any more, which I'm given to understand gives me a "bad" credit rating... which I give nary a shit about. If I'm not using credit, what do I care how they rate me for it? Still, the data they amass can be problematic, so I periodically "seed" the reports with false information, just to make life interesting for trackers.
Life is a fun game, isn't it?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
