Challenge #4: Rec Your Last Page
Any website that you like, be it fanfiction, art, social media, or something a bit more eccentric!
A lot of fandom takes place digitally, everywhere from the websites where we read, watch, play, purchase, and talk about canon or merch to the computers on which we do much of the writing, watching, reading, vidding, and talking; the ISPs that get us online; and the processors we use to pay for all these things.
The recent Livejournal stuff is a good reminder, should anyone need one, that the majority of these entities do not by any means have users' best interests at heart. So why not make life a little harder for them, and happier for your own privacy and data security.
If you use Windows, here's a useful guide to getting rid of a bunch of the data security-destroying "features" and bloat on that operating system.
And if you'd like to get even more security conscious, The Opt Out Project has an excellent Cyber Cleanse Guide that will make your fandoming--be it consuming, creating, or discussing--a whole lot harder for the big tech and ecommerce giants to track, capture, and mine for your data.

This is a lifechanging post you've just made for me for this Snowflake Challenge xD I hope you don't mind if I take some inspiration and hype some of this more in my own post for this question!

And yeah, the shopping tracking is particularly insidious, especially given companies' increasing moves to introduce dynamic pricing into daily financial transactions (Instacart being the most recent example but also airfare, rent, the list goes on) based on what they think you can/will/have no choice but to pay for things you want or require to live.
Corporations' typical rebuttal to all this stuff is, "Well, if people don't like it, they'd vote with their feet." So it's good to get the word out on how to start doing that. 💪

I've been subscribed to The Opt Out Project's RSS for a while, but I don't think I'd ever come across their Cyber Cleanse Guide specifically before! It reminded me to delete some accounts I haven't used in ages -- thank you!
