I care.

that's fair

I don't need anything better than Opus 5.5. Maybe if you wanna make more maths discoveries you'd need something else.

Absolutely terrible companies. Another one is https://fingerprint.com/ but iirc they don't do ad targetting.

It seems to be app-based. So DNS blocking could work; it's easily circumvented by the platforms, but it's rarely circumvented. like mobile games with those ads.

You should threat model, but if you want to maximally protect yourself, use Vanadium or Brave Browser and GrapheneOS and no privacy invasive apps.

Brave search is quite good for private browsing and supposedly private AI answers.

Kagi too. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html

This is a weird question and comment because a country doesn't generally make the software. But I suppose they seem to have a lot of influence on the companies. Like surveillance cameras in China.

If I was to say which countries do the most to restrict digital freedom, I'd say look at this table: https://eylenburg.github.io/countries.htm

If I was to say what companies have done the most to take the most privacy from the most people, it would be American big tech like Google and Meta.

There's some okayish software from Israel I can think of, like Zcash.

These Israeli ones are literal criminal companies. What Meta does should be illegal. Both are immoral.

A single spyware against a journalist is much worse than a single Facebook user, but for the total impact on society, they both destroy democracy and human rights significantly.

>I would sooner trust a Chinese company than an Israeli company

As for trust, with privacy I'm a big proponent of avoiding it. Use E2EE or self host if you have to. The country does not matter so much.

> as for trust, avoid it

We all end up running closed source code somewhere

If you do you'll be much better off avoiding Israeli tech

As a rule if you boycott everything Israeli it'll be smarter, more ethical, and safer

Zcash was created as an alternative to Monero. In Monero, every transaction is completely anonymous. In Zcash, transactions can be chosen as anonymous or not, so users can be pressured to avoid anonymous transactions, and to avoid associating or transacting with users who use anonymous transactions. This is apparently the main advantage and selling point of Zcash.

>I am getting tired of receiving another 12 months of free credit monitoring every time my data is breached.

This is prevented by improving privacy, not destroying more of it, as the author advocates for.

So it seems they lost the trademark on "tweet" but not "Twitter".

>There are no ads on Tweet today. Tweet is funded by its members. If that ever changes, members will hear it from us first.

This means literally nothing.

What's the downsides with using Cloudflare domains?

>Likewise, using privacy messengers like Signal is also useless if they can just take control of your entire device anytime they want.

Totally not useless. It costs a lot more to pay a spyware firm then to have an employee send an email / ask a judge (like that's even necessary).

I feel quite confident of my messages privacy on my Pixel with GrapheneOS given most people I message are on iPhones which are second in security to Pixels running GrapheneOS. Not to mention my threat model doesn't include mercenary spyware, as most people's doesn't.
