Exciting news! We are launching our first privacy advocacy designs in our merch shop at https://shop.privacyguides.org/ - Check it out, we hope you like what we have to offer! Your support directly helps us continue to create quality, independent privacy & security resources.

Our teams creating education, news, and guides use zero generative AI whatsoever. All our work is human-made to advance the greatest tech (private tech!) and advocate for digital liberties, and if you want to support our impartial journalism, education, and advocacy we would deeply appreciate your support: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/about/

@dansup nice!! 🤩

I really hope Loops.video increases their video length limit to 3 minutes, because not being able to share what we normally post to YouTube is going to hold us back from using it

If that passes then all we’ll need is a domestic censorship shield

Hey folks! We're trying out a new experiment through the end of the year, which is being more consistent about sharing important news in the security & privacy space, every single day at: https://www.privacyguides.org/news/

Every story/brief we post will also be shared here on Mastodon, but we're going to do so from the new @privacynews account, because the content and volume of posts we're going to be sharing is a bit different than what we usually post here.

Plus, that account is more automated, while all the posts here are ️ hand made.

If you just want the absolute top stories and news from our team we will continue to share them here on @privacyguides as usual, but if you want to keep up with all the news in this space go give that account a follow as well!

Please give us feedback on these stories and let us know if you find our new news tools useful!

In our series on privacy-enhancing technologies, one of our team members explains Multi-Party Computation, and how reducing the trust required in any single actor can improve your privacy overall: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/09/15/multi-party-computation/

@c64whiz there's a lot of concerns about Librewolf falling behind on (security) updates, and anything done in Librewolf can essentially be done in Firefox using Arkenfox user.js, so I understand, but I do wish there was a better out of the box solution in the browser space.

Have you hardened your smartphone's security? We have a guide that covers many essential tips you should think about: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/01/23/activists-guide-securing-your-smartphone/

Self-hosting your private cryptocurrency has never been easier with our guide on running Monero on TrueNAS: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/06/12/monero-server-using-truenas/

It feels like our data is being captured left and right and there's not much you can do about it. But we'll let you in on a little secret: You can say NO
https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/06/17/you-can-say-no/

It's not something many people think about, but in many countries once you die your privacy rights cease to exist. Maybe you won't care, but this has a tremendous impact on families and other survivors, and needs to be taken more seriously: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/09/16/the-fight-for-privacy-after-death/

@rickf thank you

@pgiulan you’re right the twitter one was more of a joke lol

The difference in Brave support is still real though.
