Remember this whenever you hear claims that your data is secure on some system or other that you do not own and control.
Like all that additional data governments want to gather via the slippery slope of “age verification” in the EU.
The only data that is actually secure on a third party is data you haven’t shared with the third party.
Hence: data minimisation.
