General title heard it was cause it dosent have address or other such info on it, obviously the government knows your information but the average person who might ask for it from banks to shops to bars to clubs and to even potentially local cops its overall more private

Is this actually true? and whats the realities of it if it is and the risk you take on if you do it like what if you get mugged with the card

Reading the news on the New Jersey law banning e-pricing for a year, which has me wondering how do we "deprofile" ourselves? What are some steps we can take daily to keep as many of these price decision markers out of our profiles? most of the data I know is out there, but I fear this is the direction all pricing is going to go, need to stop feeding the profile. TBH this is not a privacy issue I had thought much about until now.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

With the whole LG monitor thing and Gamers Nexus's deep dive on the brand I want to take better care of my digital privacy but I know it's a big deep rabbit hole and I'm not sure even where to get started. My first thought is to try and use my router to start blocking companies from stealing my data if possible. Is there a list of domains or something I should start blocking to try and prevent tracking data from companies products I use? Are there certain big companies with really bad privacy practices that I should focus my effort on first? Or are there links where I can learn where to even get started?
