This is why privacy must be enforced by states, their laws and a powerful public enforcement agency.

You cannot expect people to technically protect themselves from tracking.

(you can invite them to not use abusing services though)

Perhaps I'm missing it but does it explain what aspects of your setup contribute the most to your score or suggest remedial actions? I wasn't that surprised to find that my standard setup is highly fingerprintable (for one, I use Firefox which alone is enough to single me out in a crowd) but I also tried using a vanilla Chromium install via a popular commercial VPN and still got a rating of 100%.

Why does this have a domain of .ai, what exactly it is doing AI related?

.ai is a ccTLD. Being AI related is not a factor to get one.

But they are considerably more expensive than more common TLDs, so if you’re getting one you presumably want it specifically and understand the association users will make.

First, you'd have to define how one can determine what an abusive service is. Is Facebook an abusive service? Is some random website that happens to use FB's SDK an abusive service? How does a normie internet user find out the site they are using has abusive code? Some plugin/extension that has a moderated list that prevents a page from loading and instead loads a page dedicated to explain how that specific site is abusive?
