>Why is it a bad thing that some fed has my information? What are they gonna do anyway?
I wont convince you of that, but given you asked you're probably already convinced.
>If i wanted to be my info to be as private as possible, what should i do? Do i really need to put some ducktape on every camera that i have home?
I'll assume this: you wish to be private whilst spending no money and with low technical knowledge.
Your browser is 99% of your data leakage, accounts, websites you visit, et cetera.
Switch from chrome to Librewolf. People get mad when you say librewolf because technically you can just edit firefox to 99% of it, which is true, but assuming you want to do as little as possible on your end is say go for it, it even comes with uBlock, and is a well trusted fork of firefox. https://librewolf.net/installation/windows/
Minimize your use of accounts. Delete Google and other 'big tech' websites (Twitter, plebbit, etc). Anything that requires you phone number; avoid like the plague if you can. People mock things like Protonmail for being 'fed comprimised' but i guarantee its about 10x better than Gmail or Yahoo. Use either Protonmail or Tutanota. I have no preference, I've used both and they're both fine.
