I agree with you he is very smart in some things and has no malice. Only that Windows cannot be made safe but he claims it is because he is so stubborn on using video editor (adobe? eek), and he wants to make money with his VPN for sure

VPNs are likely honey pots unless you host it yourself also I trust my ISP more than some random company. I have no such workload that would require non-free software but I use some proprietary software on Android with internet access blocked. I guess you could monitor your traffic to make sure they are not malicious, however Spotify, Netflix and many other common apps always have DRM malware built in them and you never know what other "features" they might have now or in the future.

 

I have been watching him on YouTube. He calls himself the internet privacy guy, and shares some good and some bad knowledge.

To me he is right in a lot things, especially regarding email and degoogled phones, web browsers I guess too.

I do NOT agree with his teachings that;

  • Windows can be fine when modified (which what he shows in a video are not advanced modifications).
  • VPNs being good for your privacy.
  • I also do not see the point in giving misinformation by browsing opposite news media to your political beliefs...
  • Its fine to install proprietary apps on degoogled phones because they have no identity

Maybe I have misunderstand some of his points. What do you think about his teachings?

I have not killed myself or someone else by far probably is due to strict gun control. If we were to have big problems with the government corruption I imagine we would manage to steal guns from the military if needed.

Deleted my facebook in 2012 but I still worry my data was stolen due to them not deleting it properly or at all. But I also do not trust inserting my phone number on some website even if it is open-source the live version might not be, it only takes few edited lines of code to record input, not much can be done with just phone number but still...
