🎧 How NOT to Hide Your Digital Footprints

When is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) not really private? Answer: When your VPN provider tracks where you go and sells that information to someone else. Today we’ll talk about a recent study that shows that many of the top free VPN services make their money by collecting and selling your browsing information. That seems to violate the “P” part of “VPN”, but let’s face it: if the product is free, then you are probably the product. I’ll help you find a VPN service that is truly private.

In other news, Amazon’s Echo was recently caught recording a private conversation and sending it to a seemingly random person - should you be worried? Also, I’ll explain why shouting at your hard drives can cause corruption and tell you about a great new feature of the Privacy Badger browser plugin that will stop Facebook from tracking you.
