And don't get me started on the clusterfuck that the #EU is, not even having a unified presentation for its own citizens to get passports easily, when they have been forced to exile due to lack of opportunities in the EU.

most fitness trackers - and I’m not even taking about “free” apps but devices you pay for - also won’t give you the data; they require accounts for who knows what nefarious purposes. Needless to say, I won’t buy one.

Account - forget about it, unless I can use a fake email, the data is not particularly private, and I do not pay anything.

Phone number to create an account - go **** yourself, provincial spy from the 19th century.
