Bradley Shear, a lawyer specializing in social networking and privacy also points out some ways to help you stay away from the Internet, but there's a warning that you'll have to change many things in your lifestyle. The ways she suggested include:

  • More difficult is deleting Gmail. 'Every time you visit, they get your IP,' Shear said. Those who use encrypted mail services like ProtonMail must accept that it is impossible to send messages to Gmail or Yahoo users.
  • Use VPN virtual private network services .
  • Create 'fake facts': fake birthdays, fake emails .
  • Search with DuckDuckGo instead of Google or Yahoo or other tracked search engines.
