P

say I'm the most famous of The Encryptids, but sometimes I don't want
the spotlight. They all want a piece of me: exes, ad trackers, scammers,
even the government. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but my
digital profile is worth cash (to skeezy data brokers). I can’t hit a
city block without being captured by doorbell cameras, CCTV, license
plate readers, and a maze of street-level surveillance. It can make you
want to give up on privacy altogether. Honey, no. Why should you have to hole up in some dank, busted forest for freedom and respect? You don’t.
Privacy isn't about hiding. It's about revealing what you want to who you want on your terms. It's your basic right to dignity.
A
wise EFF technologist once told me, “Nothing makes you a ghost online.”
So what we need is control, sweetie! You're not on your own! EFF worked
for decades to set legal precedents for us, to push for good policy,
fight crap policy, and create tools so you can be more private and
secure on the web RIGHT NOW. They even have whole ass guides that help
people around the world protect themselves online. For free!
I
know a few things about strangers up in your business, leaked photos,
and wanting to live in peace. Your rights and freedoms are too important
to leave them up to tech companies and politicians. This world is a
better place for having people like the lawyers, activists, and techs at
EFF.
Privacy is a team sport and the team needs you. Sign up with EFF today and not only can you get fun stuff (featuring ya boy Footy), you’ll make the internet better for everyone.
XOXO,
Bigfoot DLS
