For the past year, I’ve been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on tiddeR and here. Everything makes sense to me now. I’m a privacy guru🥹. How to move on? What’s the next step? 😁
P.S. if you’re just at the beginning of your journey, I don’t think you’ll find a better resource than PrivacyGuides. Highly recommend it!
This is pretty hand wavy. “Yeah so all we need to do is totally change everything about the Internet top to bottom, which to this point has only ever been successful specifically because it is a technology stack built to be iterated on slowly and additively.”
Even minor additions like requiring SSL (ironically a Google effort) basically caused millions of companies headaches for weeks. That was a technology that had been around for decades that just needed to be dropped into place and if developers had been a bit more forward thinking, things would’ve just worked. Guess what actually happened.
I’m saying that would be the optimum. I never said it would be easy or actually happen.
But without the goal to aspire towards, it will never happen.
