I'm not worried about being targeted by Pegasus, but I am worried about getting targeted for adshit by Google, or them selling all my info to databrokers, or having them disable all my accounts for arbitrary reasons. I think we have different threat models.

Maybe you're special enough to be worth targeting for bespoke surveillance, I'm worried about avoiding ordinary mass-market adtech surveillance.
