privacy_guru<p>I believe the best way to protect yourself is to use privacy respecting tech (like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Grapheneos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grapheneos</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>), turn off your phones' sensors, avoid cars with tracking tech, use network wide ad blockers on home networks, give out as little information about yourself as possible. These are a few things you can do to protect yourself. <a href="https://www.byrontau.com/means-of-control" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">byrontau.com/means-of-control</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Byrontau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Byrontau</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meansofcontrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meansofcontrol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
privacy_guru<p>According to Byron Tau, author of the new book 'Means of Control,' simply purchasing your services and products will greatly aid in limiting companies' data collection about you. This is one piece of advice among a number of other advice given but I strong disagree with this. No longer does paying protect you. Look at your ISP and your cellular carrier. The grocery store. You pay hundreds of dollars and they still want all your data to buy and sell. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Byrontau" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Byrontau</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meansofcontrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meansofcontrol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
Josh<p>I am sure that <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@FirewallDragons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>FirewallDragons</span></a></span> is tired of my encouraging people to listen to every episode, but I really think you should. Sound advice and coverage. </p><p>I had to catch up, but love the book <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MeansOfControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeansOfControl</span></a> by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://journa.host/@byrontau" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>byrontau</span></a></span> , great interview with Byron. I feel it gave my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TinFoilHat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TinFoilHat</span></a> a bit of justification. </p><p>Also, love the most recent one as well. Good tips, I use OnePage a lot. Also have thought about how we don’t “own” anything anymore. </p><p><a href="https://podcast.firewallsdontstopdragons.com/2024/07/01/backing-up-other-data/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">podcast.firewallsdontstopdrago</span><span class="invisible">ns.com/2024/07/01/backing-up-other-data/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FirewallsDontStopDragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirewallsDontStopDragons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a></p>
