I’m having trouble finding local news articles without some type of human perpetrator or digital tracking tracking device being used on me.

I can’t even watch DIRECTTV news without having personal AI commercials served to my IP address.

Anybody know of any trustworthy news sources that don’t monitor your reading habits?

    If you’re so concerned about your privacy then buying a physical newspaper with bar is your best bet.

    If you want local news with minimal tracking you buy a newspaper or put up an antenna to get local broadcast channels.

    If you want it to be online, get a VPN and an email address only for the news and use that exclusively for news.

      You know the easiest way to protect yourself from the pharmaceutical industry is to go silent. No electronics, no social media, don’t go to hospitals or police stations or anywhere there might be a first aid kit.

      Then there is the way that isn’t around the bend, and realise you are just imagining things.

        Thanks for reminding me to never date a Nurse or Hairstylist again. Lots of nurses are involved in drugs and the salon industry just a full time party atmosphere. I’m starting to wonder what the school system is like now days. I wonder if like grey’s anatomy episodes but in schools

    I was gifted a laptop by a nurse 10 years ago while working for Rackspace Hosting. I suspect it had spyware on it. Just trying to protect myself from getting assaulted by this group of women again.
