What's covered
- Privacy isn't secrecy: it's controlling who has access to your information
- Who's collecting: your phone, card payments, news sites, trackers and cookies, your internet provider, data brokers
- Your safety: every company with your data is one hack away from losing it (health data, AT&T, 23andMe, the 2025 Coinbase support bribery, insiders selling addresses)
- Your money: location-based pricing, insurers buying your driving data, Bitcoin's public ledger vs Monero (sender, receiver and amount hidden)
- Your mind: social media feeds, personalised search, Cambridge Analytica
- Data is forever: laws change, and old data can be used to judge you later
- What you can do: use a VPN, a privacy browser (Brave, Mullvad Browser, DuckDuckGo) and private search, Signal instead of SMS, pay privately with Monero, lock down your phone's app permissions (or use GrapheneOS), check haveibeenpwned.com, use a password manager like KeePass, freeze your credit, and use Tor when you need anonymity
