'A recent report from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) found that Twitter removed nearly a million tweets and blocked around 100 accounts in India as part of their "country withheld" policy.'

The breach of NordVPN illustrates what VPN's can do, what they can't do, and what they should do—but sometimes don't. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/11/virtually-private-network-nordvpns-breach-and-limitations-vpns

If you don't know where to start with keeping your browsing #privacy, start here: Our guide to Firefox privacy https://blog.privacytools.io/firefox-privacy-an-introduction-to-safe/
@croqaz They appear it to be updating it from their website
Might give away some BAT because I have like 50 so...
@croqaz completely agree, I'm thinking of trying out palemoon, any opinions on that?
@glitcher32 Tor is the only truly trustworthy company in my opinion.
In regards to your second paragraph I have a quote:
Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil
What are your opinions on brave as a browser. In one of my older articles, I recommended it, and am now starting to question my recommendation (it has been removed from PTio).
What are your opinions and do you have any alterantives (obviously not stuff like firefox and tor, this is for social things.)
Read my article if you are confused:

Maaaaybe don't email me about your "privacy respecting" product that I should list on my site and then have my privacy add-ons light up because of the number of trackers on your site...

I'm blocking ost.social because they are a gab friendly instance.
You probably should to.
@danarel @iolite I have nothing against affiliates, I have even used them myself. My point was that I didn't want thinkprivacy to become a shill site (this is obviously not the case).
I still don't truly trust 1password (though I don't really trust any company truly (except maybe tor)).
Anyway good luck in the future and hope the book goes well!
@iolite @danarel
I am aware of their joining with PTio, your explanation does help a lot. I think getting people into privacy is a great thing. The only reason why I was concerned was
1. the privacy aspects of 1Password
2. The first thing that comes to mind when you mention 1Password is affiliates.
Thanks
A bit concerned about 1password from a privacy perspective. (Also LastPass seems an odd recommendation)
I haven't done any research on Authy. I have never come across disconnect, though it seems good (from a brief look at it).
Will be interesting to see were this site goes (what with all the changes happening).
I'd like to say a massive thanks to everyone who reads my blog. My latest article is currently sitting on over 4,000 views, which to me is insane! Its even been read by some companies which I think is great.
I love writing, and I promise a new article will come soon when I have the time to finish it!
As always go check out the blog, hope you have a great day!
