In this episode, we go back to the basics as I discuss what I would do today if I were starting from scratch. It begins with deleting social media accounts, especially Facebook. Additionally, we have an update from Optery in response to listener feedback.
We discuss tools like LibreWolf, Brave, and GrapheneOS, and compare privacy approaches for mobile devices, including Pixel and iPhone. A segment is dedicated to starting a privacy-first journey, from deleting social media accounts to adopting secure communication and password management practices. The episode also touches on how AI, including large language models (LLMs), is reshaping privacy concerns by building highly accurate profiles of users.
In this week’s episode:
- Don't overthink privacy, especially web browsers with Brave, Firefox, and LibreWolf
- Back to the basics starting with deleting social media
- Pixel vs iPhone (GrapheneOS)
