PROTECT YOUR ONLINE PRIVACY:
(this is a pinned post)
- Install and use a VPN that isn’t based in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United kingdom, United States, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, or Spain (ExpressVPN and NordVPN are examples)(And only use a server in one of those countries if you have to to access something)
- Install and use a tracker blocker (Ghostery, Disconnect, uBlock, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, etc)
- Use Protonmail (at least sometimes, it’s kinda pointless if you contact people who use Gmail with it)
- Use a secure note taking app
- Use Firefox (only Chromium based browsers when needed)
- Use DuckDuckGo
- Use non-Android/iOS phones (if you can, I’m on an Android right now)
- Make your social media visibility as strict as it can be on sites like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc
- Research this stuff and so what is best for what your risks are (for example, if you’re not a reporter in a hostile environment or such, complete anonymity probably isn’t that important. It’s not attainable anyway, but you don’t have to max it out)
- Fight for online privacy
