It's just me being blissfully ignorant or there's no big deal in the data collection?

Hi there, so basically I am constantly seeing people avoiding using Windows OS, switching to Linux, not using certain services e.g. Google, using various de-googled OS devices, avoiding using certain browsers e.g. Opera which belongs to Chinese company which sells the data to the Chinese government ( afaik same with Discord since Tencent owns lots of shares so they get some data ).


Privacy is obviously important, but **I am curious how it could affect me or another average user …
