        At least if more people ended up doing this on their own hardware with open source software, it would cut off a lot of the opportunities it presents for companies to abuse people’s privacy and manipulate them.

        “over addiction”

        You just chose to read the headline and thought the main reason was child birth. Which is a very concerning fact for alot of societies.
