When we share “funny” videos captured by an unwitting person in front of a video doorbell, or use devices that track our movements or listen to our conversations, we may be normalizing #privacy invading creepy #tech.

- use services & devices that tip the personal information balance in favor of the person over the company
- avoid links that undermine privacy
- avoid services that record voices, faces, location and clicks

Today, make an effort to talk to at least one new person to let them know why maintaining good #privacy practices is important for you.

Warmly invite them to alternatives to ad and algorithm heavy websites.

Be kind. Be gracious to their feedback. Their reluctance may run deep after years of corporate and algorithmic manipulation.

These small steps to create a community help us all be more private and informationally secure.
