Welcoming @peter-marsden.co.uk's first contribution, "Ghosts in the Machine: The Fight for Privacy After Death" takes a look at how even the best privacy laws around the world fail to protect those in death. This is a call to arms for posthumous privacy rights. www.privacyguides.org/posts/2025/0...

discuss.privacyguides.net/t/do-you-run... The Tor Project is looking for more WebTunnel bridges to be distributed to Russian users via Telegram (info: forum.torproject.org/t/tor-relays...) I'm hosting some, and if you can run a web server you can too:

Smartphones can be an essential tool for protestors fighting for their rights, but they also make you vulnerable to the mass surveillance many protests are targeted with. If you're taking part in the action, make sure you minimize your risk: www.privacyguides.org/articles/202...

Tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will hit the streets in the US for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic. With so many new folks marching, rallying, and taking action, there’s a growing need to disseminate information on keeping ourselves & others safe.

🇪🇺 While we tend to focus on technical matters over jurisdiction, the US doesn’t have a monopoly on the best tech. Nowadays many people are looking for solutions outside the US, so we’ve compiled a list of our recommendations that are based in Europe: www.privacyguides.org/articles/202...

If you don't know who Micah Lee is, you should read this article. And if you do know who Micah Lee is, you should definitely read this article 😎 We spoke with Lee about what he's working on currently with Cyd, Lockdown Systems, OnionShare, and more! www.privacyguides.org/articles/202...

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

This is not a win for privacy, this is a massive loss for all Americans as the country descends into the internet censorship that has plagued so many of the other unfree countries around the world. #tiktok #privacy #censorship

We didn't like the VPN videos out there on the internet - so we made our own! Watch on PeerTube at the link below: neat.tube/w/6HDQH1wnTA...

Didn't expect the defining image of 2025 to turn up quite so quickly.

Trying out YouTube without a Premium subscription today to see if I can save some money, and wow this app is practically unusable 😳

Baking time 👨‍🍳

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

I find it kind of frustrating that Apple TV+ consistently puts out basically the best television shows I’ve ever seen, and they don’t even bother letting anyone know the shows exist or that they should sign up.

I am blown away by this first look at upcoming video content for @privacyguides.org – and I'm *so* excited to be working with Jordan on more videos like this for our channel, coming soon! discuss.privacyguides.net/t/do-you-nee...

Trump wants to somehow make Canada and Mexico states when we can’t even make Puerto Rico one?

This is cool news! IVPN — a provider we’ve recommended for a long time now — has acquired Safing, a private network technology company that has been a part of our own community for many years now. Very excited for them both! discuss.privacyguides.net/t/safing-acq...

Following the US DOJ’s claim that Google Search is a monopoly, Google is now injecting in-text advertisements for Google Search in third-party websites on their iOS app, without website owner consent 🤦 discuss.privacyguides.net/t/googles-io...

Still waiting for those apologies 🤣

There is a lot of misinformation in the online privacy space. We created a page covering some common misconceptions to try and help: www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/co...

As usual, @mmasnick.bsky.social dropping sanity on us. Remember, power we give government we like today, will be used by government we don’t like tomorrow. From @techdirt.bsky.social ‘Now Do You See Why Letting HHS Censor “Misinformation” Is A Terrible Idea?’ www.techdirt.com/2024/11/20/d...

the country is more radical than most people believe. we can't keep letting Minnesota snowplow name censors shape the narrative.

I am gonna put so much Ceph on these bad boys

I’m like a month late to watching this but wow Smile 2 was a good scary movie

If you haven't already read this essay from @carissaveliz.bsky.social, what are you doing? One of the best articles on privacy written in recent years - check it out: aeon.co/essays/priva...

When you get an iOS and a macOS security update simultaneously you just know it's gotta be good 😅

I'm trying to find all the privacy people on Bluesky, tell me who I'm missing! go.bsky.app/2WueAqP

I really don’t get this. A couple days ago I was added to a list called something like “uppity assholes who think they’re too good to follow back.” I follow a combo of ppl I know and ppl I find smart, cool, or funny. This is because I want my timeline to be populated by stuff I want to consume.

Age yourself with your first computer

i know this will come as a surprise to you, but queer people are actually capable of thinking for ourselves. the primary opposition to #KOSA has been led by LGBTQ youth and frontlines, trans and POC led organizations. Big Tech opposes all regulation. That's no surprise. Stop lying about KOSA

Multi-Party Relays aim to provide better privacy protections than VPNs do. They showed a lot of promise when they first emerged, but years later there are fewer options than ever. What happened? 📝 New opinion piece from team member @friadev www.privacyguides.org/articles/202...

I’m sad I didn’t do this and now there seems to be no way to do so anymore. I want to know my number! 😅

We're just a bunch of techie writers, we don't have a PR team or SEO experts. Our traffic comes from word of mouth and inbound inquiries from journalists, so if you know anybody who could benefit from our resources, just remember to point them our way! www.privacyguides.org/en/

So, is Bluesky worth using yet?

“Non-binary” memory? DDR5 allows memory manufacturers to create RAM modules in capacities other than a power of 2, like 24GB and 48GB sticks. I tested one out in my new Zephyrus G14 laptop: youtu.be/YzijRR-vl4Q?...

Remember all the jokes we were making a few weeks ago about this being a plot to sell domain names? XD
