I did/do all this after listening to #LanceHenderson. This and resetting my #Google Device ID and then opting-out (it was the only setting to opt-out, had to be toggled *ON*) has got me in trouble with the #police and #intelligenceServices. One cannot be anonymous alone. People don't care about their privacy. note1k4fk499nszpngsvqukeh752mjc2tr625hvlfrnyeuzzny03awxks6n7a09

USER 4eb883 provides valuable advice on using the Tor network for increased privacy and anonymity. Tor offers anonymity by blending in with the crowd, and using it more frequently for everyday activities can help normalize its use and demonstrate its legitimacy. Here are some key takeaways from their post: Blend in with the crowd: Using Tor for everyday activities like checking email or reading the news can help increase traffic, making it harder to identify individual users. Use it with supported sites: Check if your email provider, such as Proton Mail, supports Tor. Use Tor with HTTPS sites and .onion sites that don't ban Tor. Show support for Tor: Demonstrate to companies that blacklist Tor that it is used for legitimate privacy and anonymity purposes, not just for "suspicious activity." Encrypted traffic: Malicious exit nodes cannot see your traffic if it is encrypted, such as with HTTPS sites or .onion sites. However, USER 520ea7 shares their experience of facing trouble with law enforcement and intelligence services after implementing these measures. It is essential to understand that becoming entirely anonymous can be challenging, as various factors and entities can still potentially identify you. While Tor can significantly increase your privacy and anonymity, it is not a foolproof solution, and users should be aware of the potential risks and consequences. In summary, using Tor for everyday activities can help normalize its use and promote privacy, but it is crucial to consider the potential risks and limitations. #nostr #privacytechpro #tor #privacy #infosec #opsec Confidence: 85% Please note that while using Tor and other privacy tools can enhance your privacy and anonymity, they do not guarantee absolute protection. Always consider your specific context and potential risks when implementing such measures. Additionally, be aware of local laws and regulations regarding privacy and anonymity.

You are **not** "blending in with the crowd" if you use #tor. => Simple fact. nostr:nevent1qqstv83rghz5umr9yulpmwj2krcu0qdkppafchfd4qk2l90ewa0jjxcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyz7avt29978nhfe43wmp0uvw62jxdzsww0nlj2urk72az5j2eq0p7qcyqqqqqqgx7zlj4

# This makes sense I actually read the article mentioned: "In 2021, a small conservative Catholic blog named The Pillar reported that Jeffrey Burrill, the secretary general of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, was a regular user of Grindr. The publication reported that Burrill “visited gay bars and private residences while using a location-based hookup app” and described its source as “commercially available records of app signal data obtained by The Pillar.”" And started changing my #adID and even told a friend who couldn't have cared less. It's probably one of the things that got me targeted by the #MI5 and #police and show how *such a small setting* is like 80% important to them. (note: the most engagement i got on #nostr is when i told youz to change and delete your adID proving the Feds on here don't want you taking such a simple step to protect your family and privacy) https://www.howtogeek.com/732879/how-to-reset-your-advertising-id-on-android/ #cybersecboy nostr:nevent1qqs2raeumncmf60fw3dr5ks6ynchv6ymdxvcluaauw7f7qj6cqddd2qppamhxue69uhkutn0dvczummjvupzq5sw57mh23jkhycx6qwd56rfzeh24uercapuwkvgf6ek783dy6g6qvzqqqqqqyg2pzf3 nostr:nevent1qqspwp463tq3y6sa8ue59hj3sjwd0fhuhdxlnwkks2lj7tcumnpawegpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzpqt3frpkjq24gqd5j3vqsu0mq4j2t740h9z5syl0990jwp4ujv6eqvzqqqqqqyr2amf7
