What do people use instead of google Photos? I really want an (encrypted) online service that is incrementally synchronized to my offline backup.

Sharing photos with friends and family could be done elsewhere. #cybercleanse

Over the past decade, #Apple, #Google, and #Meta have collectively handed over the details of *more than 3.1 million user accounts* to U.S. law enforcement (source: https://proton.me/blog/big-tech-data-requests-surge).

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:

Authorities worldwide can see more than ever, with Big Tech as their eyes | Proton

Big Tech companies - Apple, Google, and Meta - have built a mass surveillance machine that the government can easily tap into.

The Opt Out Project

@cyberlyra I'm gradually working through your #cybercleanse but wondering what you do about e-readers (I'm a bit of a kindle addict).

This year, this administration, and just big tech billionaire sellout bros have inspired me to do a #CyberCleanse including trying to get off the Gmail account I got when it was in beta... hundreds of years ago.

This is surprisingly harder than changing a legal name and pretty much anything else I have attempted to do in my life.

This feels like the right audience for this:

The Opt Out Project

OK, done the easy ones: X, FB, Insta
Next, figure out what to do with #WhatsApp.
Then think about the big one [deep breath] look in to de-g**gling 😬

Today's #cybercleanse #optout #toxictech challenge by @cyberlyra is a tough one. About 5 years ago, I aggressively #Degoogled after being asked how I liked the restaurant. I just came back ... I tried 'e' and 'Lineage', and own a #linux #PinePhone but sadly, some banking apps require genuine #Android. Thus: For #Bike tours and #detox I use my #Nokia; a #filofax #calendar, and a mechanical #seiko watch. Now try to put an appointment in my calendar or to reach me by #WhatsApp 😉.
Bonjour ! Je suis très intéressé par #theoptoutproject et #cybercleanse . Un programme en 21 jours pour se réapproprier ses données. Je ne comprends pas tout, et je ne connais pas toutes les applications mentionnées mais la lecture et l'expérimentation de différents navigateurs (notamment) me permettent d'envisager mon monde numérique différemment.
