I’d like to add something else to the topic: 1. As I mentioned before, if they want to spy on you, they will, even if you don’t want them to or aren’t notified. 2. I navigate life and use the internet calmly; that is, I don’t get alarmed. I’m calm and it doesn’t bother me when I enter an area with cameras, for example. Sometimes I see a sign that says: Smile, we’re recording you… it’s a useless sign. 3. Privacy and personal security are fundamental, but you have to understand that you can’t walk around covered up in the street with masks and things like that; it would attract the attention of the authorities. It’s better to go about your life normally and have inner peace, even if the world around you is falling apart. 4. These days, the following two words are very fashionable: theorist and conspiracy. If you say something that’s strange or unusual, you’re accused of being an alarmist, paranoid, etc., but when the time comes, things happen, and only a minority will acknowledge that it’s true. 5. To survive in this world, you must persevere to the end with courage, composure, and other personal virtues. Remember that tools like VPNs, etc., are useful, but don’t be fooled by the words “anonymous” and “maximum privacy,” whether on a technical level or not. Now that AI is becoming fashionable, needless to say, it’s even worse. That’s why I shared these 7 mental exercises + advanced strategies + multiple levels for the Privacy Guides community.
