Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

    I see quite a few comments trashing this article, why?

    It gives solid advice while reminding the reader that this is not perfect.

    If I was Snowden this is not enough at all, but If I was an illegal immigrant in a country full of others like me? I think this article plus the final note about past data, does actually give a very solid advice.

    I would argue that those who follow this guide, and take to heart the final notes and does something about past information (e.g move to a new address, change some habits, etc) would not be discovered in a mass deportation. Again, if you are an individual who is uniquely targeted by a government, this is not enough.

    And yeah, they missed some points and this isn’t perfect, but anyone who is serious would do more research anyway, so I actually think this a good article.

    President-elect Donald Trump has promised to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. He’s vowed to jail his political foes and journalists. A Republican-controlled government could further restrict abortion and transgender rights.

    FUCK U$A!!!

      Whoever voted for that guy now gets to enjoy his (hopefully short) mandate and whatever “unforeseen” backlash they get from it.

      All the rest get to cry and fight for the reestablishment of a democratic regime.

    the Freedom of the Press Foundation’s Holmes suggests users try the private browsing feature in the Brave browser, which uses a stripped-down version of Tor’s anonymous routing by default.

    Better alternatives than this? I use a VPN but not Tor at the moment

      If you’re gonna get another browser, why not cut out the middleman and just use TOR Browser directly?

      I don’t think there is a middle ground between a VPN and Tor.

      As much as I don’t like Brave this seems like a good feature. There do seem to be some problems with it leaking in some circumstances though.

      For the curious, Brave page about private windows with Tor Here

      Issues on their GitHub Here
