The article recommends basic security and privacy precautions, such as using strong passwords, being aware of phishing scams, and avoiding apps with excessive permissions. The article's slight against ad blockers is a mistake, since uBlock Origin on default settings is both effective and low-maintenance. Besides this, most of the recommendations seem like good suggestions for everyone, even if following them isn't enough to prevent all types of tracking.

We have an article in our constitution (ca. 1999?):

> "Every person has the right to privacy in their private and family life and in their home, and in relation to their mail and telecommunications."

> "Every person has the right to be protected against the misuse of their personal data."

If yours doesn't already have one, I'd recommend the addition.

(not that there's much hope of the particular case you mention. The most recent amendment proposal to the US constitution that has actually been ratified dates from 1971: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-sixth_Amendment_to_the_... )
