I went down the rabbit hole that is Edward Snowden, I know he’s a controversial subject just from skimming around. I started out interested in digital minimalism, i.e. dumb phone, had social media deactivated for a few months and then yesterday finally took the leap and deleted them altogether.

I guess my question is where do I start? Do I completely change emails in order to have encrypted e-mail? What about vpns? Is duckduckgo safe? Do you use cash instead of debit/credit card to avoid tracking? I’m sure I’m leaving something out.

Sorry, I’m new to all of this and when I jump into something, I tend to need to know everything there is on the subject and feel the need to do it all at once… So if you have any advice, or book recommendations, I would love your help. Thanks in advance!
