I’m having trouble finding local news articles without some type of human perpetrator or digital tracking tracking device being used on me.

I can’t even watch DIRECTTV news without having personal AI commercials served to my IP address.

Anybody know of any trustworthy news sources that don’t monitor your reading habits?

    If you’re so concerned about your privacy then buying a physical newspaper with bar is your best bet.

    If you want local news with minimal tracking you buy a newspaper or put up an antenna to get local broadcast channels.

    If you want it to be online, get a VPN and an email address only for the news and use that exclusively for news.

      I actually subscribe to our local newspaper and one of the smaller statewide papers. Support local journalism or else it will cease to be.

      New emails and passwords for every an opportunity to ask a question is ridiculous. I had an EX that was obsessed with stealing passwords

        Privacy comes at a cost of convenience.

        Spin up a spoof email with proton pass (it takes like 3 clicks). Generate a secure password and you’re all set.
