## Free software
Use free software whenever possible.

## Digital identity #1
Big web platforms siphon your data (and metadata).
- boycott amazon
- avoid google, limit the number of accounts or logins that you have

- Transparency and trust: privacy builds trust. When individuals have control over their data, they are more likely to trust institutions and engage in open communication

## I have nothing to hide #2
Addressing the power imbalance:
- Asymmetrical privacy: governments and corporations have vast resources and legal authority to collect and analyze data, creating an imbalance of power with individuals
- Erosion of individual rights: This imbalance leads to the erosion of individual rights in favour of corporations
- Privacy and security are a political issue and we need to advocate for change

- Conformity and groupthink: mass surveillance reduce dissent and creativity, leading to conformity

## I have nothing to hide #4
The necessity of dissent and social change.
- Civil disobedience: Throughout history, social progress often involved acts of civil disobedience that challenged existing laws and norms
- Surveillance as a tool for oppression: complete surveillance can be used to suppress dissent and maintain the status quo, hindering social progress
- Protecting whistleblowers, activists and minorities: it's crucial to protect the privacy of people who challenge authority, they play a vital role advancing society
