All Things Secured - STOP using ChatGPT (use private AI alternatives)
🚨 Google wants to force every Android developer to register with them, even if you never touch the Play Store. We signed the open letter opposing this alongside EFF, Proton, F-Droid, Tor Project, and 30+ others. Android's openness is non-negotiable.
Just 5 years ago these weren't common:
- Easy email aliasing
- Secure, Android Alts
- Crossplatform E2EE TOTP
- E2EE Google Photos Alts
- Properly pre-hardened Firefox Forks
- Robust, easy-to-use firewall tools
- Evidence-based data removal services
Stay Positive. Keep Fighting.

Privacy-respecting services have never been better. People just need to switch to them.
Crypto will succeed if we prioritize:

2️⃣ usability
3️⃣ privacy
4️⃣ security
These are how we create resilience. These are how we win.
New article by me 🔒💚:
No, Privacy is Not Dead.
Privacy is a Human Right,
and it is only dead
if we let it die.
There are 2 mindsets that scare me a lot in data privacy.
In this short article, I discuss
which mindsets we should be wary of and what we should do instead to advance our common objective of improving privacy rights: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/02/17/privacy-is-not-dead/
Privacy is only dead if we let it die. Be careful about the all-or-nothing mindset in data privacy, it can do more damage than good to the cause. While striving for improvements, do not forget to cheer and celebrate each small win.
