There's a lot going on in the United States. If you plan to exercise your legal right to protest, we kindly remind you to not RSVP online, "check in" on a social app, or share your name or email with protest organizers.
Protesting a tyrannical government is core to American culture, and Constitutionally enshrined. You can do so by simply showing up, while maintaining good opsec & data privacy.

NEW! 🚨✨
Privacy Guides is thrilled to announce today the addition of a new Activism section on our website!
This section will be a new way to support the community in its privacy advocacy and activism effort, both for individuals and organizations 💛
In this age of digital mass surveillance, we must work together to fight for privacy rights collectively ✊🔒
🚨 Less than 168 days remain before Android becomes a locked down platform!
Google intends to force all software developers to register with a centralized Google service before their apps can run on the biggest mobile operating system on the planet, regardless of whether those apps are distributed via Google Play.
Find @keepandroidopen@techhub.social’s website at https://keepandroidopen.org for more information about this, why it’s a problem, and how you can make your voice heard.
As supporters of open platforms we have consistently encouraged developers and alternative app stores to refuse to participate in this program, and to spread this message throughout the Android community.
Read our open letter to Google’s leadership: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/
First up! Our top tip for everyone starting to care about being tracked online is to install a content blocking extension in their browser, and the best choice is uBlock Origin.
Advertisements aren’t just annoying, they are one of the most prevalent attack vectors on the internet. Minimizing the amount of content you are downloading and running makes you much safer, and it speeds up your browsing at the same time! 😄

🚨 New research from ETH Zurich has found that popular password manager's zero-knowledge encryption claims don't fully hold up if their servers are compromised. ⚠️
🔑 LastPass, Dashlane & Bitwarden were identified as being affected, this is significant because cloud password managers commonly claim that their user's data would be unaffected if they were compromised. 👾
