Still trying to convince folks to move to secure messaging free from Big Tech? Have you tried our guide to moving to Signal?

We're moving onto Day 3 of the #CyberCleanse for the next week. For those of you just joining we're taking the slow boat through the Cyber Cleanse by tackling each day over a week.
This week's goal is to make an inventory of the online services you use. This list helps you map where your data lives, guides intentional decisions about which services to keep or delete, and serves as an actionable checklist to implement those choices over the following weeks.

The number of accounts shared by Google jumped 530%, Meta surged 675%, and Apple climbed 621% during this period.
What to do?
Here's a really friendly free guide to protecting yourself and everyone you communicate with, which I wholeheartedly endorse:
