An article in The Diplomat ( https://thediplomat.com/2021/09/report- ... ine-space/ ) discusses the subject line above. I'd repeat it, but I'm doing it. You probably do too.
In the nineties, still internet early days for me (I don't recall my first web sent email, probably '95(?), more memorable was that repeating poor connection dial-up modem sound.), it didn't occur to me that sending stuff out there meant it was 'out there forever'. The idea of Web data longevity only sank in much later when I read about teenagers sending sexy or embarrassing pictures of each other. Before that, we would joke about anything we might write in snail mail, thinking the recipient might share, but otherwise it was private. Ignorance was bliss.
I was never into cryptography, but anytime post Snowden, we all know digital surveillance is real outside movies/films, and with tech advances mostly getting easier all the time. However, though it bugs me somewhat, I mostly accept what we mostly all do, 'If I'm not doing anything wrong, why should I care!' Hundreds of photos of my family and I are quite possibly helping train a country's Ai facial recognition abilities right now, but they'll never use it on us.
Or, deleting cookies, so I say. Then, just here, above, I avoid naming a country. How much do you self censor?
Internet self-censorship increasing?
I not censor what I say but limit online pictures and other identifying information where possible. Data breaches are something we unfortunaly can't really protect against and an increasing number of services require ID or payment information.
Where necessary I use throw away accounts and Whonix or Tails with Tor or a custom botnet. Run that over open/breached wifi and there is not much to track.

I'm afraid it's already too late,
When you walked through Phnom Penh airport there were cameras recording your gait (arguably more unique than facial recognition and very easy to spot someone trying to spoof it - a stone in your shoe will show up as an evasion technique to ML). You had your fingerprint scanned copy of your passport scanned and also a facial biometric scan (look into the camera please sir). Oh and to top it off every other nation-state hacks into each others airports and looks for this data like a fat kid looks for chocolate.
So when you travel internationally the 5 I's, the MSS and a whole host of other intelligence agencies know who you are and where you're going.
on a private level you've already been owned by the private sector as well
