A personal take on digital privacy as a right worth actively exercising, combining a philosophical argument for encryption and data minimization with practical advice. Recommendations include deleting Facebook, ditching Google services, switching to Linux, using CyanogenMod without Google Play Services, encrypting hard drives with dm-crypt, self-hosting email, using PGP, and blocking trackers via uBlock and hosts file modifications. The author frames giving data to corporations as effectively waiving Fifth Amendment rights and urges readers to understand the weak points in their own security setups.
