 #privacytechpro tip: provide anonymity for yourself and others. use tor more often, not just for mission critical "secret" stuff.

the anonymity tor provides comes from blending in with the crowd. i.e. more traffic is better.

use it for everything that supports it and makes sense based on your threat model (probably not your bank, financial institutions, or netflix).

if your email supports tor (like proton etc), start checking your email over tor, read the news over tor. use tor with https sites that don't ban tor, especially use them when they have an official hidden services onion site.

even facebook has a hidden services onion site where they can't see your ip (they can over clearnet) even without a vpn. 

note: i do not recommend using fb...ever.

show companies that blacklist tor that tor is for everyday legitimate privacy and anonymity purposes not just for "suspicious activity".

normalize using the tor network.

p.s. malicious exit nodes cannot see your traffic if it is encrypted ex: tls (https sites) or .onion sites. http sites are not encrypted and should be avoided whever possible.

 Run a snowflake proxy if you can 
 Gem of suggestion here bringing me out of my nostr slumber. I hear folks say "they already know everything about me" and my response is they know who you were but dont yet know who youll be. Perhaps their models can guess but only you can decide who you are. And you cant decide who you are while being subject to an unending corporate algorithim. You need to create some space for yourself. 

Privacy is like romance - best taken seriously and a little mystery can go along way. 

Stay soverign my friends 
 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.

 You cannot delete your ID (DRM) 
 If you use .onion address ignore lack of https. The traffic within Tor is encrypted.

Check twice everything what this girl writes. 
 What about mullvad browser?  
 I love #Tor, but it's a pain to use for everyday browsing. The speed is really slow, and you have to deal with endless captchas that are annoying as hell. Plus, many websites don't work properly on Tor. For most people and use cases, a #VPN is enough.
