    I’m curious what steps we can take as individuals to further protect our privacy online.

    Also, what do you think we can do as a society to change the status quo? How do we get more people to see that this is a significant problem?

      Ack! I wrote out a whole reply to you and then a pipe burst in my yard and the reply has been wiped! I do have to go deal with that but I’ll be back.

      I’m curious what steps we can take as individuals to further protect our privacy online.

      A few to consider:

      • Ditch Facebook and Whatsapp.
      • Invest in a VPN
      • Switch to Firefox for web browsing
      • Install GrapheneOS on your phone
      • Pay with cash where possible
      • Switch to XMPP with OMEMO encryption for messaging with your favorite people
