Attached: 1 image New Privacy Guides article β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ”’ by me: Privacy isn't a trivial matter, Privacy means safety. Even if all reasons are valid to protect someone's data, for millions of people around the world, data privacy is critical to ensure physical safety. Be prepared however, this comes with a content warning: This article contains mention of sexual assault, violence, and death. https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/25/privacy-means-safety/ #PrivacyGuides #Privacy #HumanRights

@76crimes β€œIf you were wondering where the money taken from USAID, UN Population Fund, etc., is going, wonder no more. The money is coming back in Africa but to do exactly the opposite of what it was doing in the past, which is to bury human rights,” says Josh Mayanja, a human rights advocate in Uganda.”
