"Trying to take control of your online privacy can feel like a full-time job. But if you break it up into small tasks and take on one project at a time it makes the process of protecting your privacy much easier. For the month of October, we'll update this post with new tips every weekday that show various ways you can opt yourself out of the ways tech giants surveil you."
"Online privacy isn't dead . But the tech giants make it a pain in the butt to achieve. With these incremental tweaks to the services we use, we can throw sand in the gears of the surveillance machine and opt out of the ways tech companies attempt to optimize us into advertisement and content viewing machines. We're also pushing companies to make more privacy-protective defaults the norm, but until that happens, the onus is on all of us to dig into the settings."
Achieve online privacy by breaking the task into small, manageable projects and applying incremental tweaks to services used daily. Opt out of tracking and surveillance by changing settings, using tools, and pushing companies toward privacy-protective defaults. Establish digital hygiene by using unique, strong passwords stored in a password manager and enabling two-factor authentication to add a second lock on accounts. Use available resources and step-by-step tips to address privacy settings across platforms. Regular, focused efforts and basic security measures reduce exposure to data breaches and make it harder for companies and bad actors to exploit personal information.
