Our modern internet is (still) filled with bad advice, carrying significant implications. Cutting through misinformation with honesty, facts + creative original solutions, tips / tutorials.

Most everything public (or, becomes public in future). Privacy: π€ "canary in the coalmine" of π‘οΈ Human Rights. Historically the first under attack. When privacy is under threat, take it as a sign of things to come.
β οΈ Totalitarianism buds from lack of privacy.
Certain technology trends directly threaten democratic principles, free expression, Human Rights. Our rights are in danger.
Attacks on encryption are equally attacks on Journalism (as investigative journalism would not exist without it), and in turn, are realized as direct attacks on Human autonomy, self determination, any form of democracy itself.
Access to secure communication is the measure of our ability to create real, positive, lasting ethical change. Personal data is weaponized against us.
Information is power. Your data in other's hands becomes power over you.
Your interests, dislikes, weaknesses, strengths, history, all make a fingerprint into your mindset today. Collective actions (seemingly) insignificant (sounding) as how long you stand in specific isles in dept stores (ie: wireless tracking: solution - π§ wipri), "hovering your mouse" over an image (measuring time for interest), carefully crafted advertisements, slogans or memes.
π Troves of π₯οΈ data exist on us. Your data becomes a distinct fingerprint into your (assumed) mindset, emotions. Combined with history leads to commercialization of predictive analytic / manipulation of behavior, creating outcomes in elections. Among other goals of power.
π‘οΈ Privacy, in turn, becomes our power (protect self). Protecting freedom of press, speech, Human Rights.
Our privacy, anonymity (or lack thereof), when desired, can determine the future we shall live in, and if we will be able to carry ANY positive influence on that future.
π‘ Sharing posts / videos much appreciated.

π» ABOUT
Motivated to create public interest content, reporting, sharing (OSINT / Linux / security / privacy / selective anonymity protection).
Here, you will find tutorials & things I'm working on to enhance our ability to make a difference, in self / for others (ex: automated dedicated snowflake bridge installer, wipri: WiFi network / device self-defense, I2P-Desktop button for Linux devices / phones - Tor Browser Links). Making content with only ethical intentions (retain Democratic values: truly free press, speech) in mind.Only aim: make a positive difference.
Enthusiastic long-time GNU / Linux user / admin experimenting with creative solutions. Vast majority of people underestimate the ultimate end result (consequences) of this loss (privacy). This loss will bring to an end any remaining semblance of Democratic values. The modern day mass surveillance is a direct path to totalitarianism -- regardless of original motive, it is the destination that matters most.
Hopefully we can reach a few (share content).
On a personal note: My hope is we can come together on individual issues, even if we agree on nothing else -- that's where real change happens. I have no interest in political party loyalty (no party affiliations).
I'm political about choices within the lens of technology, hence the name: politictech. If I could get one point through (to everyone): "Privacy is the singular right capable of protecting all other rights".
No other "right" can protect all rights, simultaneously.
It is everything that is "freedom".
We can't predict motivations of those with power, 10, 20 years down the line. It's why we must protect privacy, anonymity... Today.
Your individual Rights are only as guaranteed as your privacy.
Unique, completely original tutorials / content (majority public, or becomes public). Volunteering time, hardware, to protect Human Rights / Freedoms.
Democratic processes can't work if people are afraid to speak truth to power (and truly free speech cannot exist without privacy [in age of those with great technological prowess]).
Education on privacy gives people the courage to speak out for what they know is right.
Sharing unique privacy π tools (ex: πΎ WiPri), new π‘ ideas and π tutorials with you. Your Support and / or sharing of these tutorials / page means everything, creating more time, expanding on this work. Sharing original hardware / selfhosted (privacy / security) services, dedicating pubic use servers like the [π§ π GITEA (.onion ], and Public "zero knowledge" ππ AES 256bit encrypted [π§ π Pastebin (.onion ] (both Tor Browser accessible).
