So I followed a couple privacy guides recently. The main ones were a post I made asking the community for guidance about privacy and that quick privacy guide from redsails. They were helpful but honestly left me kinda unsatisfied
They just felt like quick start checklists, not really an education. I’m looking for something more thorough and most importantly a way to keep learning long term instead of just a one time setup
Where can I find stuff that goes deeper? Like actual resources and knowledge, not just steps to follow
Also what about the privacy paradox? The more you hide the more you stand out
I’m no privacy expert, but this seems true to me. I lurk a lot and find myself remembering and correlating details about users in my mind all the time, without even doing it intentionally. I imagine others here do this as well. And that’s not even touching on bad actors doing this intentionally and automated scraping wit bots.
oh, yeah, and companies have even more access than you do. they see a million pieces of data on you that nobody sees
you could create a ghost on the internet but its an extremely deliberate act for a very specific purpose in which almost nobody here is doing or plans to do
and even then most people will slip up somewhere and start leaking identifying information about themselves, their location, and so on
