There's a lot going on in the United States. If you plan to exercise your legal right to protest, we kindly remind you to not RSVP online, "check in" on a social app, or share your name or email with protest organizers.

Protesting a tyrannical government is core to American culture, and Constitutionally enshrined. You can do so by simply showing up, while maintaining good opsec & data privacy.

Some basic tips to get started:

1️⃣ Use a password manager 🔐

2️⃣ Make sure you're staying up to date on software updates, which have critical security patches you need to stay safe 💻

3️⃣ install an ad-blocking extension to block internet trackers in their... uh, tracks 😄 (4/5)

First up! Our top tip for everyone starting to care about being tracked online is to install a content blocking extension in their browser, and the best choice is uBlock Origin.

Advertisements aren’t just annoying, they are one of the most prevalent attack vectors on the internet. Minimizing the amount of content you are downloading and running makes you much safer, and it speeds up your browsing at the same time! 😄

#AdBlock #uBlockOrigin #Privacy #PrivacyTips #PrivacyGuides

uBlock Origin, a content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, and fingerprinting scripts.
