On Privacy
I try to keep things light, but one thing I take seriously is privacy.
My emphasis on privacy is for my benefit as much as yours. If you don’t care about discretion and privacy, we are not a good match. If you care only about your own privacy, but not mine, we are not a good match.
If you don’t think much about the privacy of your communications, the best time to consider it is now. Especially you high profile folks.
WhatsApp Is Not Private
I know WhatsApp is popular, but it is not private.
Signal is the gold standard for private messaging. This is your secret life, so use Signal.
If you are a high profile person, you should already be using Signal.
You can even set a timed lock on your Signal.
Gmail Is Not Private
Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail etc. are not private. They are popular, but not private.
Proton is accessible and easy to use.
Your Proton account and all the content within are encrypted on servers in Switzerland.
Your Native Browser Is Not Private
Want to browse secretly? Download the DuckDuckGo browser and do your covert searching and browsing there. DDG makes it incredibly easy to evaporate your browsing data: you literally just press a button. And it has other features, like blocking hidden trackers.
If you don't want to download the Proton mail app, you can log in on the browser.
Three Easy Services
So there you have it, three easy, accessible services that exist for your privacy: Proton, Signal, and the DDG browser. Use them properly, and you can keep your secret life a secret.
You do keep your phone locked, right? No? Then you have more steps: delete your covert Signal conversations and Proton emails. It's better opsec anyway.
Does your spouse spy on your phone? You've got bigger problems, mate. Don't even think about contacting me until you figure it out.
