"Saying that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. It's a deeply anti-social principle, because rights are not just individual, they're collective. And what may not have value to you today, may have value to an entire, you know, population, an entire people or an entire way of life – tomorrow. And if you don't stand up for it, then who will?" - Edward Snowden Those who don't care about Privacy and Freedom are Idiots, Fools and Traitors of "the People" (Humanity Globally). You can't have Real and True Freedom; if you don't have Privacy.

Strong passwords aren't a myth—you missed critical nuances. Even on a sketchy site storing passwords in plain text, a strong, random password holds up if it's unique and not reused across sites. You 'forgot' about that crucial aspect of password hygiene. Also, on sites with weak hashing algorithms, strong passwords still force attackers to brute-force, which is computationally impractical. Hackers will crack the weak, reused passwords first, leaving strong, unique ones standing. Calling strong passwords a myth is misleading and downplays their role in real-world security.

"I don't do anything bad, so what do I have to worry about?" Yeah, that was me for years. Now I understand that it's not just me not doing bad stuff; do I want to open the door to me so that other people can do bad stuff to me?!

Your voice is soothing, your information is important. Subscribed.

@NLozar22
Strong passwords are actually quite good protection against data breaches, because sites (unless they are completely insane) will only store the hashed form of your password, so even if that gets stolen, it will still be computationally infeasible to obtain your plain text password IF your password is strong enough. But you are right about phishing.

A few years back. A cloud storage company (I forget which one) had a few of their sys admins arrested for going through private accounts. I guess looking for information, nude selfies, corporate secrets. You are far better off building your own "cloud storage". Now if you use Windows or Linux for your storage OS, Keep it updated, and practice good security measures. You will be far better off.

I love how people love going “you’re not gonna do that on my (social media) page” like it’s their property. 💀 It’s not. It’s a public space, but not even that, it’s virtual space on a server owned by a company. - People really have this idea of virtual online space being a world they have any say in, which is also how companies got people to spend money on virtual space, be it storage, a server-slot, or even blockchain-plots. - I mean, it’s fine to rent some storage space or a server for a game or whatever, but people really think they own or control stuff virtually.
@LabelsAreMeaningless
You aren't listing myths. You're adding context to these services to help people who outsource their thinking to advertising without doing their own due diligence. The problem with framing them as myths when that's not accurate, is now you'll have people who only half listen or understand, running around saying things are useless, or do nothing, which is just as untrue.
@xileets
My favorite common myth, you didn't mention is, "Don't write-down passwords." What matters is WHERE you store said passwords, or whatever.
@gottadomor7438
Appreciate the info. I've long just assumed every I do online both tracked & stored somewhere, by some entity, & for the purpose of trying to use it against me someday. Am I paranoid? Probably. ;-) But I do act accordingly ...
@karlsenpal
If people says to me “I got nothing to hide”. My response is “Let me share all content on your phone on Facebook”. The panic in there eyes says everything 😂
@TinusTegenlicht
Avoiding simcard doesn't mean you won't be tracked. I never had a simcard in my phone and when I was in a car with a friend and wanted to take a photo, I got a message asking if I was driving myself. So, they knew I was on the move, even without a sim.
@JPNox
4:10 ProtonVPN is claiming to prevent DNS leaks at least. Also - not preventing phishing (which is a social technique) and device being compromised is kinda obvious, I don't think anyone would expect them to do that
@ThatHalfBritishRobloxian
Yeah I agree with the cloud storage
@empurion
Please be careful with the file deletion. While overwriting current data is good inside hard drives It's very bad to do on SSD's.
@MelissaB0999
I'd love it if you'd go over the Find your Offline Device settings in Pixel phones! They implemented four new settings last year. What do they mean and what are their implications. My needs for my phone and my childrens are of course very different, and Google's short description isn't everything I want to know.
