[SOLVED] Accidently damaged an MicroSD by pulling it before it had fully ejected

I accidentally removed a MicroSD card from an Android device running Android 12 while it was being ejected. This happened because it took longer than usual (less than a few seconds), and I pulled it out without looking at the notification. Now, when I insert the MicroSD card into any Android device, it tells me to format it to...

Encrypted services Apple, Proton and Wire helped Spanish police identify activist | TechCrunch ( techcrunch.com )

By the way, the earlier posted article https://restoreprivacy.com/protonmail-discloses-user-data-leading-to-arrest-in-spain had an update starting at the paragraph with title Update: Statement from Proton and additional commentary

I think it's not the services fault that people aren't aware of the limits of encrypted services. They are not going to shut everythin' down just for a few people, if you need smth anonymous Proton is not for you.

Also, it's your task to have good opsec. If you give your iCloud email to Proton which has personal information sticked to it, you fault.

It won't make any difference. It actually could potentially make you more fingerprintable, since your IP adress is no longer shared with many other people depending on the VPN you're using, etc.

At the end of the day, VPNs are not necessary to be not tracked, since your IP adress changes regulary, but it can be helpful in some scenario's and it's not harmful either, aslong your provider is not a bad actor.

Both are good, depending on your personal preferences one could fit your work flow better than the other. In terms of privacy I did not recognize any difference.
