@Yoditar @Em0nM4stodon we only accept the cryptocurrencies listed on that page at the moment, including Monero and Litecoin as ones with some privacy features. We can look into adding ZEC in the future but it probably won’t be anytime soon, adding new ones is actually a bit complex for us behind the scenes ‍

Sorry about that, but thank you for your support!!

Are you planning on attending a protest soon? Your smartphone can be an essential tool, but it's also a huge risk to your privacy, security, and safety. If you decide to bring one along, you need to keep yourself protected:

( hot tip: this advice is still great even if you aren't hitting the streets!)

@jeff they're not fantastic, but if your information is from 15 years ago I'm not super sure how much it holds up today either.

The most relevant new feature in iOS 26 for journalists, lawyers, activists, politicians, executives, and other high-profile figures wasn't really advertised to consumers at all. Rather, it was announced in a September 9th post on the Apple Security Research blog...

"Privacy washing" is when a company misleadingly, or fraudulently, presents a product or service as being responsible and trustworthy with data protection, when it isn't.

Keeping an eye out for this practice is critical when evaluating new tools to use: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/08/20/privacy-washing-is-a-dirty-business/

Something new we are going to try and do is cross-post our videos to Facebook and hopefully get them in front of more people.

We don't want to encourage anyone who might still be using Facebook to follow us with personal accounts necessarily. However, if you do use Facebook for your business/org or have a professional page, I would appreciate a follow:
- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581131968905
- https://www.facebook.com/groups/674387485687921

We were previously banned from Meta for "impersonating a business" (ourselves, LOL), so the goal with asking for follows is to quickly appear as legit as possible. Thank you for your support

Biometrics are a convenient and secure way to authenticate our devices. Many of us use and trust the biometrics of our devices without much thought, but are they really secure?

And with so many options, which ones are the best?

There is a growing number of people who no longer feel safe in their own home or country. Whatever the reason, many people might not feel safe to browse certain topics online.

This article will help people in such situations learn how to browse the internet and use a computer in a more protected and anonymous way, in order to stay safe from harm.

I would like to correct a typo in the images above and note that we've actually published 41 articles in 2025, not 21

@Shrp91 thank you for your support! 🤩

:boost_request: Privacy is a human right, but getting more people to care about it is frankly (and literally!) a full-time job.

2025 has seen some of the worst attacks on privacy to date, and it has also represented the greatest commitment to our work our team has ever made.

Going into 2026 and beyond, we really need the support from all of our followers to keep our staff fed & housed and to keep our momentum going.

Your membership will directly support @Em0nM4stodon's writing work, @jw's top-quality video content, and @kevpham's work keeping our daily tasks on point. It also helps us find the best guest contributors, and review paid products completely independently.

If we've put out anything you've found helpful this year, this will determine the future of that work. Please read my message on our forum for more info:

The latest article from Privacy Guides is live, authored by first-time guest contributor Peter Marsden: Ghosts in the Machine: The Fight for Privacy After Death takes a look at how even the best privacy laws around the world fail to protect those in death, and the profound way this lack of privacy harms not only the deceased's legacy, but the lives of their survivors.

@strypey the main thing I need from Ghost is per-author ActivityPub actors and (subsequently) the ability for non-admins to post short notes to ActivityPub. In its current state it definitely feels designed for single-user blogs and not full publications.

@ryse thanks for the kind words
