A new site for people who want to protect their #privacy online, but who aren't that into technology:
https://switching.social/
It only covers sites and apps that most people need and can use.
Let me know what you think, any feedback welcome, positive or negative.
If you like it, please feel free to share the link, spread the word etc.
I've tried to make switching.social as simple and easy to use as possible.

Easy-to-use guide to privacy-friendly sites and apps

Ok, here we go. This is a new website which is aimed at people who want to protect their #privacy online, but who aren't that into technology. I've tried to include sites and apps that most people need and most people can use:

switching.social/

Let me know what you think, any feedback welcome, positive or negative. If you like it, please feel free to share the link, spread the word etc.

I know it's not as comprehensive as sites like degooglisons-internet.org/alte… but I've tried to make switching.social as simple and easy to use as possible.

#twitter mass-mailed two hours ago: "We believe you should always know what data we collect from you and how we use it"

BS. Is this from the #marketing department or #privacy department? (Twitter hasn't the latter)

Google attempts to partner with telecom companies to replace SMS with their app - naturally it doesn't protect privacy and does not support encryption.

Is google listening to your computer's microphone? A guy here does a test.

All I can say is that its good that I was lazy/not bothered to fix my microphone driver. Also very rarely use google search these days (that too only in incognito tabs).
