DIGITAL PRIVACY PAGE

I've decided to start a new page about digital privacy, because we are now under serious attack and need to find ways to defend ourselves. Here is the first post:

Digital ID's have been a threat on the horizon for years, but recently they have gone from just being a threat to being an actual hard out attack on our freedoms. 

As with the death jabs during the covid hoax, where I said right from the outset, "I will never submit to any death jabs", I will also never submit to any form of digital ID, but clearly that is rapidly going to cause issues, as "they" ramp up the pressure to submit.

Submission is not an option, so we need work arounds. 

 
WAYS TO HAVE SOME DIGITAL PRIVACY
 
The subject of digital privacy is huge but we have to start somewhere, even if we have no idea where this is going to lead, or even where is the best place to start.
 
 
1. AVOID USING CELL PHONES 
 
Back in the 90's, cell phones were the hot new fashion, and my friends all got them, so I got one too, but I can honestly say I never liked them, and I refused right from the outset to pay for any sort of monthly account.
 
I've stuck to using pre-pay only for nearly 30 years now, and most years I forget to even do a $10 top up, so my balance gets wiped nearly every year. I very seldom make any calls, and never use data, so I generally spend less than $20 on pre-pay per year.
 
In this day and age, I may well be one of the most clueless people in the world when it comes to cell phones, and for me of all people to start off here talking about phones is completely fruit-loops.
 
But if I had to start with one practical suggestion for achieving some degree of digital privacy, it would be to avoid using cell phones as much as possible.
 
I do have a Samsung phone running Android, not because I think it has any degree of privacy at all, but because I had nearly a full decade of reliability out of my first one, so got another one when it finally met with nasty accident (admittedly I seldom use them). 
 
So I'm not saying to not have a phone at all, because from time to time there is no easy work around, and occasionally a phone is fairly essential. But I am recommending to avoid using phones as much as possible.
 
Eventually I will need to replace my Samsung phone, and then I will look at privacy options like a Brax phone, or some sort of Linux phone if there is a suitable option for me by then, but in the meantime I'll keep on not using my Samsung phone for as long as it still runs.
 
When it comes to phones I'm clueless because I've always done my upmost to avoid using them, but I'm putting them here in first place because I think they are arguably the technology that presents the biggest danger to our privacy and freedom.
