We used to have free speech and an open internet in the UK. Now I need a VPN to access Lemmy.zip because Labour has turned Britain into an Orwellian Nightmare.

Fight for our right to privacy and free speech.

Resist, Resist Today, Resist Tomorrow and Resist with all of your might.

    I look at more of how much privacy do I want and what am I willing to give up to get it.

    The more you try and keep your data private the less user friendly things tend to get. You need to find a balance that suits you while satisfying your main privacy concerns.

    But staying away from “big tech” as much as you can and using a good VPN (Proton or Mullvad) is a MUST for any threat model.

    I gave up on my first attempt to go fully private because I tried to go as far as is possible. Now I have struck what I think is a good balance. No iCloud, No Google and absolutley no Facebook, Twitter or Reddit.

    It has been for years. But since Two-Tier Kier has arrived on the scene he appears to using 1984 as a how-to manual.

    However it’s not ALL bad. It has made a lot of people that until now didn’t care about data privacy start doing what they can to keep their data out of government reach.

    Until the Apple ADP fiasco I was all-in on iCloud. Now I don’t use any of it. I use local encrypted storage with dummy partitions and passwords so I can give those if i’m ever forced and they still get fuck all.
