Privacy for Beginners. (Guide that I made)

Privacy and Security Guides

Made a image that explains privacy for who are just starting. I would like feedback on the guide, I just made this for fun. Graphic design is my passion! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

That’s a really cool design. I appreciate the font and gradient stuff, nice job. You’re also including great recommendations.

If I would give feedback (as you requested) to something small it could be that self-hosted email option is not really deserving the ‘best privacy’ label in my personal opinion. I would phrase it as the ‘most verifiabile privacy’ but this could be a semantics thing as well. I feel like that’s the only benefit for self-hosting email like that: full verifiability

(And some threat modeling bits might also be nice to include here and there, but idk if it would fit).

Overall great stuff!

Here are another two cents.

The designs are very cool. I like them.

I’d reduce the importance of VPNs, which are more an intermediate tool than a beginners tool in my opinion. How much you IP address tells about you depends very much on your Internet provider, the country you live in and the website your visiting. When visiting a website with IPv4 and a provider that does CGN, your IP address doesn’t tell much. With my provider and IP based location tracking, you get the country an general area, but in most cases not even the right city or town. I know VPNs are received as very important because there is a lot of marketing around and therefore VPNs are in the forefront of everybody’s mind, when privacy is discussed, but I stand by my assessment.

To the browsers I’d add Mulvad Browser and Firefox with uBlock Origin. That’s absolutely a beginners thing. Also “Have multiple browsers“.

For the Messengers, the lineup is great. I’d recommend Signal for communicating with friends and family (people you actually know) and Session for people you don’t really know (people on the internet you haven’t met in person yet).

I hope that was helpful.
