Privacy isn't about hiding bad things.
Itâs about protecting what defines us as human beings, who we are: our day-to-day behavior, our personality, our fears, our relationships, and our vulnerabilities.

In email marketing software, tracking is often enabled by default. Here are some friendly suggestions to help make tracking less pervasive, less creepy, and less leaky. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/01/stop-tracking-my-emails

Im really excited that #privacytoolsIO is now on opencollective.com, as its the first step for us to become completely financially transparent :)!
Trying to convince some people that "if the product is free then you are the product" is difficult.

Think youâre anonymous online? A third of popular websites are âfingerprintingâ you. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/10/31/think-youre-anonymous-online-third-popular-websites-are-fingerprinting-you/?arc404=true

My most recent open source project: https://unshort.link/
Prevent short link services from tracking you and remove tracking parameters from the underlying urls.
You can 100% host it yourself and its #GPLv3

Consider your options when deciding on home surveillance. Allowing audio and video recordings to be uploaded to a centralized server can allow intruders (#hackers, #google, #amazon, #governments, #police) access to your home, circumventing the protection you originally hoped for.

Un artĂculo y un blog que siempre merece la pena leer.
Also go check out my blog!
A peoples operations manger at DDG 
sent me an email because of my blog. It is a good feeling knowing that people in the industry enjoy reading what you create.
It was interesting talking, and I've given them some feedback about some issues such as the core code being proprietary, and the fact that they are based in the US.
I may have some updates in the future about my website and also my job (though this is a long way in the future as I have more important issues at the moment).

How does @privacytools evaluate VPN providers? Here's some of our criteria, broken down: https://blog.privacytools.io/choosing-a-vpn/
Does anyone know any good alternatives to codefund.io ?
Also is oslat.com working for any of you?
@jonah But have you seen these two gems?

I'm going to fully set up my website next year. For now I'm going to focus on work while still uploading a few articles. In about a week, I'm going to go back offline for a while. There was a clear correlation when I went offline to my work improving. In the meantime feel free to check out all my articles if you haven't already and keep donating to teamtrees.org !

This isnât #privacy related, but the needs of humanity are above all else - Our small bubble of colleagues have already donated about 400 trees to the #teamtrees initiative to plant TWENTY MILLION trees by 2020.
Please consider donating.
Only $1 gets 1 tree planted.
+6 million have been donated in only three-ish days.
Keep the ball rolling until we hit 20 million!
