De-google Your Phone

Try GrapheneOS.
You'll immediately stop feeling watched.

Let me spell out what this means for privacy:

Surveillance is hidden all through opaque software. You are never meant to find it.

But AI can decompile, analyze, & expose exactly what your apps are doing.

The age of "trust us" software is ending. Privacy revolution incoming.

Your Smart TV is spying on you. It’s taking 100s of snapshots a second of everything you watch, and quietly sending that data to 3rd parties.
Surveillance has crept into our living rooms and bedrooms.
We need to take back control.

5 reasons you should care about privacy

[Jan Jekielek @JanJekielek]

Naomi Brockwell just warned that the West has no idea how close we are to becoming a surveillance state like China.

And we’ve forgotten that privacy is a pillar of a free society.

“It is privacy that protects every self-correcting mechanism we have.”

“Whistleblowers.”

“Investigative journalists.”

“Protest movements.”

“Opposition parties.”

“These entities can’t exist without the protection of privacy.”

“When that’s gone, it is going to be so difficult to get it back.”

“We’ve had people in the U.K., in the United States, in Australia, look at what’s going on in China… saying, ‘This is great.’”

“‘This is a great system for control that can make society better.’”

“It is so dystopian.”

“We need to be looking at things like that with a giant red flag and fighting it with everything we’ve got.”

“Once you get over that panopticon surveillance precipice, it is so difficult to reclaim your freedoms.”

"Show your papers, citizen" has become a normalized part of digital life, with mandatory ID checks everywhere.

The digital space has transformed from an open network into a system of checkpoints and control.

The only way forward is to rebuild with decentralized tech.

Enough is enough.
If the government wants to search you, they can't just buy the data. They need to get a warrant, like the 4th Amendment intended.

I was a big-government liberal. My consumer reporting found problems I thought only government could fix…

But economists Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises made me question what I thought I knew about government policy.

@ryanmcmaken of @mises explains their ideas:

You can shop online without giving away your real name, phone number, home address, or card details. It's easier than you think. Here's how it works in action, using email aliases, VoIP numbers, PMBs, and masked cards.

"We need to verify you're you."
Companies make up reasons to collect your data. They're often lying.
Sometimes making up a fake person is a valid form of resistance. I refuse to normalize mindlessly handing over my data.

[Naomi Brockwell priv/acc @naomibrockwell]

Privacy isn’t about hiding.
It’s about choice.
It’s about dignity.
It’s about deciding for ourselves who gets access to our data, and under what circumstances.
When that choice is taken away, so is a piece of our humanity.

What does independence means in an age where our digital lives are more controlled than ever?
30 years ago, Barlow wrote the declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace. It's time to reread what he said.

We don’t need mass surveillance to catch bad actors. We need targeted warrants, clear laws, and real oversight. Dragnet data collection doesn’t just find threats, it expands the definition of who counts as one.

They rushed through sweeping emergency measures in the name of preventing the next attack.

It paved the way for the most pervasive surveillance apparatus we've ever seen.

Every administration inherits it, and we're left hoping it never falls into the wrong hands.
