I have young kids in school currently. At the open house, that’s the very first thing they asked.

To be fair, lots of students mess with subs. It’s possible the sub assumed the kids were fucking with them.
That’s not how it would work for us. We’d receive a report from the MPAA/RIAA that showed the torrent they were downloading, the IP address involved, if they were seeding or leeching and an affidavit saying that all the information was correct to the best of their knowledge.
The letter we sent basically was a notification that we received that letter (with a copy) and that if we received two more for the same IP (three in total) we would have to release their information to the reporting body and that they could be open to legal action. It also included some information on how to secure their network and check for viruses in case that was the cause.
In my 15 years working there, we never once released information about a client. Because this was business accounts, most clients had multiple IPs (at least a /29) and would cycle what IPs they showed up as on the public Internet to keep them from getting multiple notices on the same IP. The music venue I mentioned had an entire /24.
Google Keep is stored locally and synced with the cloud.
Google Keep?
I had to process these requests at a company I used to work for. They do send “proof” (proof in quotes because you have to believe in good faith they didn’t just make it up, which I have to believe they didn’t).
We never shut anyone off though. We worked with business exclusively and only ever sent “scary” letters. Though we had one client that was a major music venue (a very known venue that’s pretty famous) who would get these letters all the time. The irony was too much for me. I ended up calling them personally most of the time because it was too funny.
People who made accounts before they start charging will be grandfathered in for free.
There’s also how much of a pain that would be for the end user. Would I have to create new accounts for all their services? That would be a mess.
Ground News’s whole thing is they rate sources on a far right to far left scale and use that to compare stories. I tried it (the free version) and found it to be at best a news aggregator that gives you their opinion of media bias. In theory it sounded great, in practice I didn’t find a whole lot of value in it.
That’s what his supporters will say he means. It really doesn’t matter what he says.
Your first link talks about Google consuming data for its AI
Your next two links (which are talking about the same thing) talks about how other companies are abusing Google’s adbid system to try and collect correlated data against their own.
Love it or hate it, Google has been pretty transparent that they use your data for advertising, but nothing there talks about Google selling your data to third parties.
Probably, hopefully, who knows for sure. That’s the problem with using an open source project run by a corporation.
Google doesn’t sell user data, they sell user eyeballs. There’s no incentive for Google to sell user data since they’re an ad company and the only people who would buy the data are competitors.

Here’s the concern with Brave since it’s Chromium based:
For as long as we’re able (and assuming the cooperation of the extension authors), Brave will continue to support some privacy-relevant MV2 extensions—specifically AdGuard, NoScript, uBlock Origin, and uMatrix
My emphasis, not theirs
A lot of what you hear is overblown. I’m usually the one to take my kids to activities (karate, gymnastics, birthday parties, etc). I’m very much an extrovert so I’m usually the type to talk to the other parents, play with the kids, etc.
It’s all about the situation and your demeanor. I’m usually the first to stop a kid from walking out of a place, running into the street, etc. I’ve never had a response other than thank you. Most parents appreciate the help.
Sometimes you might find parents that are a bit colder, but that’s the exception, not the norm. As long as it doesn’t seem like you’re trying to lore the kids into your van with candy, you’re probably fine.

You just said HAOS and Frigate, and “set it and forget it” in the same statement. As a long time user of both I call shenanigans.
I also think you overestimate the ability of the average person. My mom barely knows how to work her Ring doorbell camera.
Amcrest’s app does, and you could do it yourself with something like Home Assistant.
iTunes is one of those services that offer DRM free music.

I’m definitely not an apple fanboy (I’m an android user) but Apple switched to DRM free a while ago.
