And guess what the downstream consequences of this is? Criminals, scammers, stalkers, thieves, and people who want to target you can now easily get data on you. The more we become a digital society, the more important it is to protect our digital privacy. Yet the laws seem to be going in the opposite direction. And it makes me furious. Have you ever heard this term? Oh, nobody would target me.

Susan B. Anthony changed the world. She grew up in a time when women did not have the right to vote. It was illegal, even. And she said, screw that, and went down and voted anyway. And she was arrested for voting. She was thrown in jail. And she went to court. And she was found guilty. But she refused to pay her fine.

She had to break the law to go against the government in order to make change happen. And now she's highly celebrated, even to the point that her face is on the corner. I think about her sometimes and I wonder, what should I be doing that's wrong but right? And what I keep thinking about is our digital privacy. The government is stripping away our privacy from us.

Corporations are being so grabby of our personal data in a predatory way. And they do it so much that it just seems normal at this point. But they are wrong. So what's the right thing to do? I imagine a world where our privacy actually matters, and it's not some meaningless double talk.

Companies who actually take your privacy seriously are companies that either don't want your data at all, or encrypt it in such a way that they can't even see it, even if they wanted.

This way, no amount of data breaches or subpoenas can expose you, and you don't have to worry about these companies looking at your stuff, sharing your stuff, or selling your stuff, because it's all garbled, and only you can ungarble it.

isn't that the normal you'd rather see in the world companies like google apple and facebook all say that they take your privacy seriously but then they proceed to collect every data point about you that they can your location your contacts your address your phone number your work history your sexual orientation the car you drive political affiliations financial data all communications with your friends and family

And then they analyze this and study you. And then they store it all in a database so they can keep building a profile on you. All this data is a huge liability for them and for you. And they absolutely 100% positively don't need any of it to do what they do. I've had enough of this and switched from an Android phone to a privacy phone.

I exclusively use end-to-end encryption for all my text messaging where nobody can see the chats but me and the person I'm sending it to. And I moved my email to one that encrypts my emails on their server so they can't even read them. I stopped using search engines that try to learn everything about me and I've switched to ones that collect zero data on their users.

I've stopped using browsers that send my web history somewhere. I always use a VPN and I'm so mad at banks for giving my financial data away that I'm ready to just start using cryptocurrency everywhere I can or go back to using cash. I'm exercising my rights and I'm being a self-advocate of my digital privacy. And I want you to be a self-advocate too.
