If you’re looking for ways to make your Internet activities more opaque, here’s a very useful site that discusses alternative software to help you be more secure. It also discusses phone services that may help too.
Most of us, of course, are not terrorists or doing anything illegal but that doesn’t mean we’re fine with having extra-legal snooping into our activities. As someone aptly put it, everyone knows what goes on in the bathroom but that doesn’t mean we want people snooping on us when we’re there.
This site is a great resource and you should bookmark it against the day that you need one or more of the services it discusses. I, for example, am not yet ready to give up iOS and OS X but:
- I can still use Tor and other utilities to protect my online activities.
- If, in the future, I do need to give up my current system, this site has good suggestions as to where to go.
