I wonder how much use is there in photos of you where you haven't been tagged (in addition to being bad quality). When it comes to better-quality, tagged ones - you can just ask people not to do so.

If I had a wireless mouse, I would prefer it to not have a built-in battery at all. Pop the batteries out, swap them for a pair of charged ones, put the old ones on a charger. That's it.

Sure, but it is still the most usable alternative we have for now. I would avoid stock FF and use either Librewolf or hardened FF because the default browser spies too.

Really have hopes for Servo/Ladybird!

No, my point was that the reasons are way deeper than "being allowed to buy alcohol on their own".

I thought not about buying moonshine through specific channels but rather asking an older friend/acquaintance/family member to do it.

I am not saying that companies are trusted - they're equally as bad. They collect and hoard your data for profit, government hoards it for control, that's all the difference. And both can exchange data with each other. The trust level is about the same.

I wouldn't be as trusting of them. They have all the power to lie to people and just do the thing in their interest. Or someone there may just be bribed.

I have evidence in form of drinking classmates. Moderately so in my school because it was cultured, but classmates told it was much worse in their previous schools. I guess it largely comes from the families.

I was under the impression that kids don't smoke anymore because it is not trendy like it was in my parents' times. But they do drink alcohol. And especially they do vape.

Interesting how in parents' times, you did not have to be 18 to buy alcohol... But juvenile alcoholism is a much bigger problem now. As if there is some bigger underlying reason...

IDK... Where I live, a lot of things are blocked. And while there was a decline after the bans, the banned social media are NOWHERE close to being "dead" or "not viral".

The government can keep a log of what sites asked for such a proof though, and better assume they do.

I would be very much against tying my social media accounts to a government services one. I know it can be correlated if needed, but the government automatically neatly having this information all in one place? No thanks, it's outright dangerous.
