    Oh for fucks sake!

    So, what are some good encrypted alternatives to common messaging apps? Signal instead of WhatsApp/Messenger etc? Proton mail/drive/etc instead of Google? Any other suggestions? Would a mobile vpn help?

      Just go offline, I am so sick of everything being an opportunity for privacy invasions and money extraction.

        There’s a number of both work and private reasons why that won’t be feasible. Also, I feel that we should not surrender the whole of Internet because of this bullshit.

      Perhaps Briar? I keep wanting to try it, but don’t have contacts that also do. It runs offline through Bluetooth and WiFi direct as well as online through TOR.
