It's not as if most people are rich in Equatorial Guinea. It's an appalling outlier in terms of inequality, even on such an unequal continent as Africa.
"Only about half of the country’s population has access to clean drinking water, overcrowded living condition is—surprisingly given the country’s low population density—rampant and very few children enjoy the advantages of urban life such as education, medical services and recreational facilities." https://borgenproject.org/equatorial-guinea-poverty/

Matomo is analytics for folks who really care about privacy (or folks who want to simply have more control over their users analytics data). Install https://matomo.org/ and run it in the same location as the project you're already running. Your own instance of Matomo is not going to be on EasyList any time soon.
