My privacy journey started with a YouTube video by SomeOrdinaryGamers about the Club Penguin Online doxing situation in 2020. Then, through Techlore and other YouTubers, I learned about private browsers, VPNs, password managers, Linux, FOSS, and more. What made you start?

    My mom was/is a snoop so I grew up learning to cover my tracks lest I have to deal with her nosiness. Then when I got older I found out about porn and definitely had to cover my tracks for that.

      Same here! I also have a nosy mom, but she’s not too great at computers. I’m lucky she’s older and barely knows how to copy and paste. Still, I’ve learned to lock every door, close every window, and make sure I’m not connected to the TV!
