My take is that a libertarian who thinks big government (or the spooky 👻 deep state) is out to get him is an attitude I want for the ceo of a privacy company.
If Trumps associates are going to jail for refusing to turn over passwords to their proton accounts, then I think the service is working.
Gonna be super funny when Trump turns on him anyways though, and bans proton from the US, because only his privacy actually matters.
Mastodon via tor.
This better not be a “computers received pentagon funding when the first Vaccum tubes were being made”.
Signal is an excellent choice. Literally forces cops to get a warrant for your phone and hope you didnt purge your messages after a few days.
If you want anonymity on top of that than simplex
But you have heard of me!
Pretty sure the best setup is a portable laptop with internet coming from a cellular tablet/modem that you can disconnect the battery of.
You mention lying in bed, but that’s easily solved by a lightweight laptop. Wireless mouse that works on your sheets. They have small gaming laptops even, for when you need more power. Anything more powerful and you could just build a server and lock it down unless you have a hardware security key plugged in.
Cash is the best payment option. Only mullvad and proton take cash.
Monero has yet to prove its privacy. Math nerds can’t crack an anonymous letter with cash.
Reject inefficient video data transfer. Return to kb sized articles you can analyze at your own pace.
Data isn’t some silo locked up. They have data sharing agreements allowing them to look at each others data and pay for transfers of useful information. Their profit comes from making initial collection agreements with the phone companies/banks/stores giving them sole access to raw data.
At the end of the day OP wants to do all of this for his bank’s 2fa codes. The bank that knows who he is and where he lives due to know your customer laws.
Just disable internet banking, paper statements, stops all data from being made in first place.
Cash only phones only work from a privacy perspective if they are your single phone. As a secondary phone they’re just another number on your data broker profile.
I’m not sure what you are t following. They’re associating your location with your phone number non stop. The sms message is just you sending a message.
Another provider has you location, another broker can pay for your information. Brokers clean up all the data they receive and match it to specific individuals. That’s how they do their job.
Broker 1: hey got any data on person01?
Broker 2: hey I got data on person01, how much you willing to pay?
Broker1: sweet, I’ll pay this much.
That’s, not defeating anything.
Your actual location is still being sold. They weren’t tracking you through sms in the first place. The phone company doesn’t need you to make phone calls to know where you are.
Data brokers share data. All that changes is that you are now worth €0.015 vs €0.010.
Your plan is a lot more effective if you just ask for paper statements from your bank and keep your cellphone at home. Or just turn off your cellphone and check for messages and VM like the ancients used to do on occasion.
Umm, how does this protect your privacy?
SMS messages don’t include your location. The cellphone towers know your location. Getting a transmission from sms to matrix means it’s going from old phone over the Internet to a cell tower to your real phone/or cellular enabled laptop.
But…that’s just a setting on all the browsers
Pretty sure they’re able to rank votes differently based on how sure they are a person is a person.
Is there also a privacy focused alternative to yelp? I’d like to know the ratings of a business before I start driving.
It’s a massive oversimplification. But with captcha systems everywhere, they’re able to see you visit a newspaper, visit the journal site, try to download a journal pdf, and captcha is able to easily conclude that you’re a human and have automatic approval.
Maybe if you’re going straight to a site for the first time today it would measure your single mouse click. And then from there tracking you across the Internet, assuming you’re online for maybe 6 hours like 99% of connected humans.
Tor blocks all the fingerprinting, and anonymizes the ip address. Captcha is only able to see a computer arrive at the website requesting access. Captcha’s only tool is to give challenges which the bots are able to beat. So they make you run the challenge multiple times, seeing how long it takes your or randomizing how many times you’re willing to do them.
Source: some tech YouTuber did a mini documentary about it. You could watch it yourself I assume.
The latest captchas and cloudflare-turnstile approve you because the google-cloud flare networks have already determined who you are as an individual and just wave you through.
Tor gets the checks because they don’t know who you are and are seeing you for the first time. Getting a captcha means your privacy strategy is working.
Last I checked computers talk in English /s
Given their niche tech skills, they should probably be ok.
Computer security is difficult, citation needed
Lol. There is no poisoning. They want to see where you are on the Internet. You’re just helping the ad companies get a better profile so they can sell you at a higher price. Not to mention they’re not idiots and can just exclude all the 20 clicks that happen in the first second of viewing a page, and look at the one click that happens after hanging out on a website for a while.
If you want to poison their database, then actually use vpn/mullvad/tor, and give fake data on forms.
Simplex?
