Intelligence agencies employ departments to create and edit Wikipedia pages. I am sorry I do not provide all the sources for this claim, but this is only logical. Paypal closed the account of Mint Press News. This is the same financial cens

This depends on what airplane mode means on your phone. With GrapheneOS, airplane mode blocks baseband transmission, but you can optionally still turn on Bluetooth and/or WIFI. If you dial 911, airplane mode is immediately turned off f

The dance around that issue will be more entertaining than any dance skit we will see on TikTok. Avoidance of addressing it is the reason Tiktok has been allowed to run as long as it has. Push surveillance capitalism to the max and expose t

Many of these harvesters offer data dumps to their products/users as required by California and other laws. They are quite eye opening. However few people ask for it. It may be willful ignorance. So even if you create this, many people

F-droid is an app store that carries only FOSS apps that do not have any Google API's. These apps are generally safe. Some may require your location such as maps to function. The difference with most of these mapping apps based on OSM.

My learning is that we should never trust any site that says a form is anonymous. Use TOR and a disposable email alias to create account. If they have anything that blocks using either, don't participate if you want to be anonymous.

This can be called manufactured ignorance. Those who have been informed sometimes practice willful ignorance. I have also come to accept that perhaps a majority of people want to be watched and controlled just as they want to be ruled by po

It would be great if we could make it law, but it will be difficult. It is in government's and other's interests to eliminate cash. It is not law here in California. I recently went to a bar that would not take cash. I somewhat lo

This one is very hard to believe. A guy who worked on advanced hacking tools and was able to get out that much data without trace does not know how to use encrypted hidden volumes nor shred his hard drives?

MS swooped in while Google and Meta are embroiled in antitrust and other suits. I guess I can expect to see Netflix ads that reflect my activity on XBOX, PC, Bing, DDG, and Outlook.
