    Thank God I’m European and the privacy laws here are pretty strict, so at least the official channels can’t collect and provide our personal data. I’ve a second SIM card installed in an old smartphone that forward (done with the Tasker app) to my Telegram account all the SMS that it receives and the phone numbers that try to call it and I use that number when is mandatory on a website/service.

        Save the puppies act! If we don’t know what exactly you say while pounding your wife, how could we possibly hope to save your dear pup, which I promise you did not consent to a threesome?!

        And eeevery body loves puppies, no one will object to that. In case you do, you’d be suspected in zoophilia by the way, so don’t do it!

    My god does it feel good to read something so well written and not by AI ! <3 Nice blogpost I went through the whole post !

    However, I felt kinda uneasy to read about privacy and data collection and then seeing Google Voice being proposed as VoIP solution… :/

      Honestly, Google has gotten so bad at keeping up with Voice that it wouldn’t shock me one bit if it didn’t have any sort of tracking on it.

      Apple beat Google voice in supporting RCS for fucks sake.

        None of what you say is wrong, but I will say that though my regular number is on permanent silence and straight to voicemail because of all the spam calls and texts, the Google voice number I have had for years has been largely free of all that BS and continues to work great.

        Maybe they are tracking everything I do, but the product DOES work pretty great.
