Privacy is Easier Than You Think
A lot of people think that taking back their privacy will require major life changes and advanced tech skills. Here's why that's probably not true.
People often conflate privacy with anonymity.
When I tell people that they should value their privacy, what they typically hear is that they should go live in a cabin in the woods with no electricity or internet.
Likewise, when people hear me talk about "cybersecurity," they assume that it requires them to have a deep knowledge of code, encryption algorithms, and system architecture.
Of course, privacy and cybersecurity can be hard but it's not all high-level, deeply technical work nor is that level of work always necessary.
Privacy improvements exist across a wide spectrum. Some require five minutes and zero technical knowledge. Others demand a weekend of setup, then disappear into your workflow. A few demand life-level restructuring.
To make matters worse, not all of them yield the same level of results, and it's not always easy to tell when the juice is worth the squeeze. So this week, let's talk about that.
