I really appreciate this. I'm just dipping my toes into securing my online identity. About to create an email with proton but I did want to create a more professional sounding name for real life things (my kids' schools, doctors, etc). Is that still safe as long as it's not linked to things like social media?
That’s a great question! Kind of depends on if you’re seeking anonymity or general privacy. I think you can definitely use your name if your goal is more security and privacy 💙
An informative and well-written post! Lily provides a wealth of tips and resources for protecting one's data privacy in the current climate. From reading privacy policies to utilizing encrypted messaging apps, the post covers a wide range of important topics that are often overlooked. And hey, I know you know you need to do these things. For many of us, we've been told before. My gut sense now is the time to actually do them.

Hopefully, Im over-reacting, right? That’s actually the best case scenario.
Correct.
Plan for the worst and expect to be surprised.
