We're waging war against big tech. For those of you who don’t know, we posted an article criticizing Mullvad’s use of Gmail, and surprisingly thanks to you guys sharing it, they actually changed. Using this momentum, we'd like to turn towards among the biggest “fake privacy” offenders of them all, AnonShop and what you should definitely know about this service: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/fake-anonshop

I was relatively unfamiliar with the details of the service but just looked into it more.

Firstly, I'd think avoiding as much closed source big tech as possible would be ideal, so I'd support any efforts to minimize or eliminate use of AWS or other Amazon.

Secondarily, it looks like it will ship from many sites, not just Amazon and for those orders it also only ships to addresses beyond just lockers, for obvious reasons.

I was going to post screengrabs, but Lemmy is tossing errors for upload at the moment for me. Check the homepage of anonshop.app where it says

"Spend Your Monero Anywhere

I have built a open & private system that gives you the ability to spend Monero on any website."

And then the separate order option:

"Address Delivery 15% (Min 15) USD

Deliver Any Item to Any Address

Requires Address

Works on Any site like Amazon, Ebay, etc.

Super Flexible Service"
