I have heard from friends that they got banned for using adblockers on free Spotify.
My account got deactivated after doing that (firefox+ublock). It was really sneaky because my password just stopped working. My account was reactivated by contacting the support and they never told me the reason why my account got deactivated.
You seem to have really high standards around who you trust and in the same moment you call Telegram secure. I feel like you should atleast use the same amount of scepticism for Telegram that you use for Signal.
This might not be relevant because you have other reasons not to use Signal, but you can get android signal directly from their website and via aurora store (on fdroid)
Just use Signal if you want an easy, relatively privacy friendly and secure messenger.
Telegram hands over data to goverments, is infested with spammers and scammers and its encryption is not end to end for group chat which lets Telegram access those chats.
Edit: Telegram is great for lots of things like big groups, communities, piracy, drugs etc but its just not the place where you should expect secure communication.
You can send Mullvad cash as payment method
Soooooo many captchas. And some websites just pretend to have weird errors which stop the moment I shut off the VPN
Someone having that data is a problem in itself
posted that to !shoplifting@slrpnk.net btw
Sadly in UK transphobia seems to be pretty common in liberals and liberal institutions. I think that is because in UK the idea to connect transphobia with “womens rights” was really successful and this results in otherwise really liberal / left leaning / feminist individuals & groups to be actively anti-trans. As far as i know even otherwise trust worthy news papers like the guardian plattform anti trans talking points.
Lol no, because as far as i can tell they dont do it with other forms of bigotry like racism.

BBC is not impartial on racism.
Do you know what in particular triggered their stance that they believed the BBC anti-trans?
There is a series by Shaun (a Youtuber) about anti trans stuff at the BBC and one article in particular.
First of 4 Videos is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4buJMMiwcg
Folks at the anarchist instance kolektiva.social/ probably wont have any problem with it, but there is not really an existing community around it there.
Also their admin was just raided by the FBI and they stole a harddrive with an unencrypted database of the server, so there are some “small” security / privacy concerns around that instance lol
But did actually anyone actually pirate your music? Like is your music on a torrent indexer or shared on a site specific to music?
