I love that more people are waking up to privacy. Really. But I’ve got to be honest, most of you are not being hunted by nation state actors.
Yeah, I get hyped reading spy tier tactics too. And privacy influencers love dropping lines about how satellites can ID you by your laptop fan noise. Feels badass. Feels urgent.
But most of us aren’t being actively targeted. We’re just being quietly monetized. Every tap. Every message. Every search.
You’re not being chased.
You’re being sold.
The good thing is that you don’t need a big budget to claw back your privacy. You need discipline and good habits. You need to stop doing dumb shit with your data.
90% of your privacy goals can be met with a handful of free tools and good habits.
The stack rarely fails. People do.
Go read the arrest records from major ops. It’s not cracked encryption or hacked devices that took them down, it was bad OPSEC. Reused aliases. Contact leaks. Sloppy data hygiene.
I wish I had the lucrative VPN sponsor or sell you the Extra Hack Proof tinfoil but it's usually what you do and don't do that is more important than the tool. That’s the part no one can sell you.
