Snowden could not stop these programs, but his revelations made it impossible to continue looking the other way. He still changed the world. He changed our perception.
new month, new you. It's 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽.
A few ideas:
🔸 Replace Google Maps with Organic Maps
🔸 Replace Google Photos with Cryptee
🔸 Replace your VPN with Portmaster Unlimited
If you don't like strangers taking food out of your fridge and sitting on your couch without your consent, you shouldn't allow anyone to do the same thing with your data.

one app to find them,

In case you've been thinking about finally using a private browser, private search engine, or something among those lines... This is the sign you've been waiting for! Do it. Now. You won't regret it.
Somebody once told me my free VPN is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
It was looking kind of dumb with its finger and its thumb
In the shape of an "L" on its forehead
Don't get fooled, folks! You pay free VPNs with your data!
As I walk through the valley of the shadows of the Internet,
I take a look at my digital footprint
and realize there's nothin' left.
Cause I've been programming and developing so long that
even my mama thinks my data is gone.

Mass surveillance is like a disease that spreads so fast that you can't treat it with anything unless you get the antidote -

Protecting your

Your social security number is not so secure anymore if you don't protect your data. Beware of identity theft or other data abuse. It's real. And it's often expensive and painful to pay the price for poor privacy and security.
When you discover your VPN is not as private as you thought:
🎶 I've been cheated by you since I don't know when. So I made up my mind, it must come to an end 🎵

If Taylor Swift were a privacy enthusiast:
'Cause trackers gonna track, track, track, track, track, corporations gonna sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, but I'm just gonna block, block, block, block. I'll block them all, block them all.
@bitwarden
just got a community profile accepted in the Portmaster-Community!
With Community Profiles only the connections needed are allowed.
Forget filter lists and trying to block each domain out there, only allow the ones you need!
Unless you use software that is truly privacy friendly, all the trackers will do is never gonna give your data up, never gonna let the corporations down, never gonna run around and desert you.
Did you know that all major browsers don't properly display domain names? The proper domain for our homepage is . not (the last dot behind the io is the difference)
