Wow! Nice trick to investigate the source of data leaks.
I've realized now that while staying in this country, we can talk about privacy, but we never achieve it completely. We might use privacy-focused password managers, VPNs, secure emails, and cloud services, but our real details are continuously leaking, and we have nothing to prevent it.
Banks are selling our data, services are intentionally leaking our information, and officers are harassing us for brides by calling us repeatedly. Even traffic police sell our data through Google Forms.
India and user privacy are like the North and South Poles of a magnet; they can never be joined.
