I am seeing a ton of confusion about protecting yourself on the Internet. So as a retired bastard genius kid, I wanted to share my own experiences and knowledge in this.
DOXXING, PERSONAL CYBERSECURITY, ANONYMITY for the average revolutionary. A thread:
On an individual level, most average people are not important enough to try to dox. But if you're hiding from a tyrant govt, a high-profile YouTuber with bad opinions, hiding from white supremacists, or an active BLM protestor? Be concerned.
A: STRONG passwords changed regularly. NEVER use the same PW between sites. PW managers/generators help immensely. Combined with two-factor authentication (2FA) on all services, this is enough for most average users.
A: Possibly, but probably not. It can help to narrow down a search for info, but those alone usually aren't enough to find a person online.
A: Yes -- sort of. Do not click strange links without knowing the context. Malicious websites run scripts that do things like IP logging or cookie grabbing. An IP alone does not reveal a physical location, but can be spoofed as your identity.
A: Not necessarily. Many people stay anonymous by operating through multiple identities and being careful about what data is shared where. You are at discretion with how far you want to protect yourself, just like with real life.
A: Virtually no. Nearly all data ever inputted into the Web has been cached and saved somewhere. You can request people directory sites to take down info of you, but usually with limitations. The best way to deal with it is --
2) obfuscating what you found as much as possible. Delete/archive old social media accounts. Request said takedowns. Change your account handles and email addresses. Etc.
A: I know. This stuff is scary. But being equipped with the knowledge is the best thing you can do for yourself. ^^

This is technically not about doxxing but it's an INCREDIBLE independent investigation on geolocating a child abuse case based on photos alone. It's incredible what a photo can tell you, even outside of metadata.

Or, you could let us know when you figure out why it was trending yesterday and the users are complaining which is why Vice wrote about it. Why I'm saying what I am.
There's an assumption here that this problem is fixed bc it was already hacked.
It's not.
We have ppl freezing and dying in TX right now because some ppl who thought they were really smart never spoke to anyone with actual experience with energy systems in extreme cold climates.
Texans are waiting for a solution to a preventable problem.
Farmers are saying that now, not during a crisis, they have to wait for a JD tech to arrive to help them.
The assumption that bc SOME farmers said screw this and used hacked firmware to get around that obstacle doesn't mean that all farmers are doing that.
If all farmers were using hacked firmware we wouldn't be discussing this right now would we?
Of course no one has pointed out that another issue here is that no one at John Deere has figured out they don't have enough staff to quickly and reliably SOLVE problems.
The locked firmware is just one of many issues here.
By not giving people a fast solution they're causing this and other issues.
So what I'm saying is somebody at John Deere needs to examine all of this.

Let us know when you've found the supply chain hack that's already there

The new tactics to implement the #CancelCulture are quite ingenious. They are not going after what they want cancelled directly, they are going after how it gets to you! It’s attacking the free market, and it’s harder to spot and harder to fight before it’s done! Read on!
1/
Here’s an example. If there’s a challenge to the normal Social Media platforms, then they aren’t wasting time going after the new app, they are making the app unavailable well more difficult to get. This puts people off from going to the trouble or switching.
2/
They are going to do this in a way you won’t see it coming. They are going to stop it before the source.
Soon, the media is going to be a complete left wing echo-chamber. Social Media, TV and Papers all left wing and you don’t get to say “what about free speech?”
3/
Why? Because they aren’t playing against free speech. They are going after the free market. This also gives you an idea what socialism can and will do.
I don’t expect my account to last long now I’m watching this and exposing it! Please share, stand your ground and don’t quit!
Here’s the proof that CNN are trying to get Fox cancelled at the broadcast level, stop it getting into people’s homes by getting the TV providers to ban it. Again, targeted before what we see as the source. This is also the groundwork for any
