    After reading this I installed a camera app that does not save EXIF data. Take small steps, makes the change easier

      congrats! another exif solution I love is sending pictures to myself on signal since the app strips that data by default

    I agree with most of it except the recommending VPNs part. they’re good for piracy, bypassing geoblocking and accessing your home network from outside but not for building anonymity in a fascist regime.

    how many people are gonna pay for their VPNs with cash or with safely acquired Monero? how many “no-logs” VPNs will get people jailed because they offered them a false sense of security?

    I would recommend Tor if I was her since it’s free and more decentralized, and it comes with the added benefit of not relying on your VPN provider to be your new ISP. Plus we need more people growing the Tor network now more than ever with so many countries showing signs of dictatorship. The more users are added, the harder it becomes for big tech/the state to identify you in this big swarm of Tor users. Currently, because not many people use it, it’s more viable to fingerprint you than it should be.

    to anyone reading, install Snowflake to help your neighbors bypass censorship and fight internet surveillance.
