  • There is a reason every illegal operation runs on Telegram, not Signal. The security is good.

    Or it's because the platform is nearly unmoderated and has benefited greatly from the network effect.

  • What about Lineage gives you more control than GOS? I personally have never tried LineageOS since I have a pixel, but curious what it's like over there.

  • I can do even better

  • No, you still need a phone number. IIRC it's on the roadmap, but not a priority.

  • I don't mean to say that running / installing Qubes or Whonix is difficult per se, as a matter of fact I use both on my main machine, rather it's not very intuitive to set up as, and likely far beyond the threatmodel of, someone brand new to privacy.

  • That is quite unnecessarily extreme for any threat model. Even if we ignore your bringing of a thermonuclear bomb to this metaphorical fist fight, most social media sites block Tor and require a lot of PII to even begin consuming content, so you'd probably be better off practicing self control and avoiding those sites entirely.

  • If you're using a third-party email client, but using a gmail email address, then PGP would stop Google from reading your emails (assuming the private keys aren't compromised).

    If you're using their email client, then nothing stops them from decrypting your emails if they really wanted to. IIRC, gmail doesn't natively support PGP anyways though, so you'd have to use a third-party client.

  • It's opt-in.

    Yeah, the part that makes you money is. Still have to manually disable all of the popups and icons begging you to use it.

    You just described every single internet service that you're not actively paying for.

    Difference is those sites don't necessarily advertise themselves as "privacy respecting"

  • Is DeleteMe.org real? Looks too good to not be a data stealing scam.

  • Reject Convience does privacy policy reading streams, and has a pretty hard stance on no TLDRs. If you don't have time to watch it, save it for later. Better that than to trust a random person's 5 word TLDR.
