As someone not extra tech savvy in the online world….I found this interesting.

One journalist used this to bust online pharmacies for selling customer info to Google on people buying over the counter abortion pills, for instance.
Does the FBI or police organizations buy info like that too? Don’t be silly….!
I ran this tool against nwhikers.net out of curiosity, and was very pleased to see absolutely nothing suspicious at all. Not surprised, but still pleased. I sent it to other sites I visit and was not happy with the results.
I'm still reading their methodology and am generally impressed with their effort, but dismayed at the state of surveillance capitalism.
Always assume you are being watched, monitored and your info is being packaged up and sold to the highest bidder. Even on "secured" chats such as Telegram. It's the world we live in.

Make sure you're away from the trail zones! Don't vocalize personal information such as bank information or SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS on big name/permit-based approaches.
Same guys paralleling the trail 15 m off camo'd up crawling in the dirt to get in to the Core Zone no permit also got ears!! And RECORDING TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT!!! These guys are often times recording on 8 track handheld devices when they're paralleling the trail 15m off camo'd up big crawling in the dirt to get in.
You might think I am paranoid. I am not. It's the reality of choosing to use a phone or a computer. Your metrics are worth something, to someone. What sites you visit, what ads you click on, what you buy. It's why FB is nothing but ads these days, and you don't see many posts from friends anymore.
