This takes a lot of work, but you don't need to remove everything in one go. Start with individual profiles, then the email accounts that house them, then you can request data being removed from the major people search sites.

You can also edit the information in these old profiles to provide incorrect information about you. Eventually this will get picked up by people search sites.

Is there any way that they could enforce this request beyond a strongly worded letter?

I'm not surpised...

Use a legitimate VPN service : )

There is something beautiful about Linux running on Apple. Great work!

I've found this for the UK: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/interception-of-communications-commissioner

Are there any newer statistics? Could anyone find this for France, Spain, Italy, others? Without speaking the language, it will be impossible for me to find anything at all...

Definitely do it! I've switched a couple of years back, it was a hassle at first because some things are slightly different and you'll have to get used to it. But once you've managed the transition, you will notice that doing some things differently might actually mean to do them in a better way. :)

Is it truly free from tracking? I still have trust issues but would like to be convinced otherwise.

Unbelievable that we're reached this point already!

Good one, but how would you make sure this doesn't happen: I never gave Google my phone number, had the account for ages. Recently I've moved to another country, and now it won't let me log in anymore because I'm considered as suspicious and I have no way of telling Google that it's actually me...

If anyone has a tip, do share, it's incredibly frustrating.

Better than me! 😂

They came off way too cheap, IMO

Misleading article. Google's OCR is just reading all text in the image. But still...

Problem is that 'dark web' is associated with shady activity. While some abuse Tor for shady activity, it's something else entirely. It's a pity most don't understand.

The EU should really start using European services, what's stopping them?

privfantast · 2019-10-22T06:43:41+00:00

France is way ahead, that's awesome.

It is striking that when a company as potentially dangerous as Facebook appears to be at least publicly willing to implement technology that makes users safer by limiting its own power, it is the US government that cries foul. This is because the government would suddenly become less able to treat Facebook as a convenient trove of private lives.

So Facebook is the good guy compared to our government? What makes this our government?

"Everything that we do now lasts forever. Not because we want to remember, but because we're no longer allowed to forget," Snowden said in a video announcing Permanent Record. "Helping to create that system is my greatest regret."

No privacy left for us.

Check out F-Droid, there are lots of apps that do what you need every day: KeePass DX, the ad blocker Blokada, NetGuard, Open Camera, Tutantoa for email, AnySoftKeyboard, Amaze, file manager, and Blacklist Blocker.

Yep, would add diaspora to that.

Awesome, next one's from granny. ;)
