Five Ways Your Privacy Is Under Attack – And How To Protect It
https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/five-ways-privacy-under-attack/
Good article on digital privacy, much of which you probably already know:
- get a VPN
- stop using apps, the number one way to compromise your device. Go old school — use the browser to type in the address.
- get a "dumb phone" and leave phone at home as much as you can
- don't get SMART devices (TV, doorbell, etc.)
Some scary shit on Smart Cities, but again the solution is simple(ish):
...However, for many, many people, leaving the city is not a viable solution. In that case, oppose the implementation of Smart City technology at City Council, Town Council, School Board meetings, Tower Commissions, Wireless Commission, County Commissioner meetings etc. Attend meetings, organize in your community, run for local offices, and stop these policies before they even begin.
If we do nothing but complain on the internet, or give in to apathy, we are only failing ourselves and setting up future generations for a world without privacy and without liberty. Instead, I believe all free people should start taking steps to remove themselves from slavery systems, and begin supporting and/or building parallel systems outside of the mainstream. I call this Exit and Build. ...
Exit and build--very good. We do need to build small local alternatives to--pretty much everything at this point.
My constant suggestion is to start donating REGULARLY to your local private school or to a home school association.
Most VPNs log your IP addresses and activity anyway… it’s a never ending debate on which ones do & don’t. ProtonMail and ProtonVPN, were supposed to be mega-ultra secure and look what happened to both. Everyone’s trying to dodge the way the Internet evolved and works with NAT.. there is always a way to track your ingress and egress IP address if someone is motivated enough.
