I sit down with Thorin Klosowski from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to discuss online privacy, secure messaging, VPNs and the data we share with AI tools. We look at Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram, discuss privacy tradeoffs across Windows, Linux, Android and iPhone, and ask what you should assume about email and cloud storage. Thorin also walks through EFF’s free Surveillance Self-Defense guides to help you create a security plan and decide what to focus on first. If you work in cybersecurity, or you simply want to help your family protect their privacy, this conversation gives you a starting point without assuming everyone needs the same tools. In this interview: Why “I have nothing to hide” misses the point How to think about passwords, two-factor authentication and security planning Why messaging defaults and privacy settings matter What a VPN can and cannot do for your privacy AI features, cloud storage and questions to ask about your data Phone and computer privacy tradeoffs, email and encryption Which privacy setting or app are you going to review first? Let me know in the comments, and subscribe for more cybersecurity and privacy conversations. // Thorin Klosowski’s SOCIALS // Website: https://www.eff.org/about/staff/thori...
