You don't need to use Twitter (or Facebook, google, etc) for them to collect your data. Any site with a Twitter embed, a FB Like button, and/or Google Analytics will gather and process your data.
You can block that, though I’m sure some gets through.
Pihole and an add blocker work pretty well for me, and it’s really surprising to me that people tolerate browsing without some form of protection.
At least stop using official twitter apps and the site. If you can get a third party twitter client like tweetbot that makes a huge difference. I'm not sure why anyone uses twitter's official apps since they started messing with ordering, throwing in ads. Is it because they also became more restrictive with API access for third party apps? My tweetbot works like a charm still.
yeah, and what about the other millions of web properties inundating your web browser with JS that tracks, beacons, analyzes, and whatever the hell else?
unless you want to replace your comment with "stop using the web" you'd be way better off getting on the spectrum of defending yourself to an obviously hostile world, with things like uBlock Origin, pihole, $increasing_complexity, and so forth
