My privacy journey started with a YouTube video by SomeOrdinaryGamers about the Club Penguin Online doxing situation in 2020. Then, through Techlore and other YouTubers, I learned about private browsers, VPNs, password managers, Linux, FOSS, and more. What made you start?
Yes, totally agree. It was actually a great growth opportunity to start learning new skills and become more self reliant. Now instead of trusting Google or Microsoft with my data, I can trust myself to keep it safe.
Absolutely. Absolutely. For example, at first I heard a lot about password managers, but I was afraid to store all the data in the cloud and not have control over them. But now I use Keepass, all my passwords are in one database and it is saved in many places. My accounts are now protected and I control the safety of my data. Privacy journey is awesome!
