Those in the beginning stages of privacy planning will start looking at the more obvious low hanging fruit in the Internet privacy infrastructure. There are stores identifying the trackers in apps or use an app like Exodus to target so people think this is the most important thing to focus on.
This shows a complete misunderstanding of what makes the Internet dangerous. Exodus is useless. And I will tell you the bad news. It is impossible to stop all the trackers. In fact, some trackers will not leave a trace. For example, there's Browser Fingerprinting.
I don't know why other privacy or security people don't teach this properly. And it is is likely because they don't really understand what's going on.
I will tell you the correct way to manage trackers and also will tell you not to obsess about this. What you need instead is a proper understanding and then you will find that trackers are easy to beat. I'll teach you how.
Something very basic that the average person does not care about even if they knew about it. Your every click on a website is tracked. Every single one. How does this work? Surprisingly easy enough to understand yet apparently no one wants to explain this.
There are ways around this for the privacy conscious but the mechanics of the tracking has to be fully understood.
A rant. The most irritating thing for those of us who are privacy conscious are comments like "what are you hiding?" or "as long as you follow the law who cares?" or "you're paranoid".
I'm sure I'm not alone on this. Well, if you get irritated by this, then there is nothing wrong with you. Ignore these NPCs but you also need a smart understanding of why you do need to care and why these NPCs are the ones who are wrong.
The intent to scan content to counter end-to-end encryption is no longer theoretical with the passing of the UK Online Safety Bill.
How would the OS makers then build in client-side scanning? Let's tackle a theoretical project to do this on your favorite operating system (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android).
This would be how I would do it.
@robbraxman I've been watching you for a few years, but your latest video is the best. Keep going! I am really glad we still have content creators like you!
@robbraxman Lunduke have a main page(lunduke.com) where he post links where people can follow. Maybe you should do one like this.
