    just wanted to add that deleting an app will not result in deletion of your data stored in the cloud (e.g. your emails)

      That I do know. I’m not worried about emails, or really anything specific. My online activity is pretty tame, but that’s within the context of a country with a functioning democracy that treats women like free humans. Not a surveillance state that plans to criminalize reproductive healthcare and turn women into sex slaves. I guess the problem I’m having is I don’t know how much I need to change my online habits because I have no idea how bad things are going to get.

        that’s great to hear. in your case not wiping emails and social media is not that much of a danger, I would assume, but I would do it anyway, even if I was not a women, just for the sake of it not being used (theoretically) for ads and such anymore. but be sure you have backed up every email and post you will delete, and storing it securely
