MODERATORS
It adds to Tuta's trust and reputation when they are speaking out against bill C-2.
However, this made me realize something though. Why haven't I heard much from Canadian based "privacy" services?
Privacy services tend to be based in European countries because they have stronger data privacy laws and insulation from court orders etc.
Yes, but we nonetheless do have privacy services in Canada, like 1password and Hushmail. Having weaker privacy laws will make these companies even less competitive.
Yet it is a German company that is raising attention on bill c-2 instead of Canadian companies.
Canadians voted for the same party that was already eroding privacy, so I don't know what they expect.
Michael Geist has been talking about it for years now.
Canadians voted for the party that would keep the CPC out of power
All the major parties are hopeless on this issue, and the minor ones usually have nothing much to say either.
Listen, you clown. Canada has two options at the federal level, Trump North or Conservative Lite. We got Conservative Lite ONLY because Trump South tried to interfere and failed miserably. If you think for a second that there is a party that would "fix" Canada then you live in a rose tinted fiction.
Looks like I need to take another look into encryption.
Mulvad, they offer actual privacy, you can even pay them anonymously via cash if you want. Never had any problems with them.
I own my own domain and use a separate email address for everything, this avoids spam and allows for some security.
I use a pihole setup, this blocks ads and trackers to avoid all the crap online and allows for some security.
I try to keep my VPN into my home working (it is currently not working), when it is working my cell phone activity is encrypted as it goes into my home network.
My ISP router is practically a dumb box that hosts a firewall, I want to setup another computer that will act as the firewall so that the ISP router is just the dumb box. Money is a factor in this!
I will check out Mulvad and see what is about.
*edit: I also use Vivaldi as my web browser, which provides some additional security. Wish there was more I could do about but the people I communicate with are not as into security as I am.
No port forwarding, which is needed for ensuring your Linux ISO files are getting out there.
They used to be the perfect choice.
Yeah, but I get their reasoning.
Yes. A few bad apples spoil the bunch.
