The Privacy Iceberg

This is original content. AI was not used anywhere except for the bottom right image, simply because I could not find one similar enough to what I needed. This took around 6 hours to make.

(I tried my best)

The background is an iceberg with 6 levels, denoting 6 different levels of privacy.

The tip of the iceberg is titled “The Brainwashed” with a quote beside it that says “I have nothing to hide”. The logos depicted in this section are:

The surface section of the iceberg is titled “As seen on TV” with a quote beside it that says “This video is sponsored by…”. The logos depicted in this section are:

An underwater section of the iceberg is titled “The Beginner” with a quote beside it that says “I don’t like hackers and spying”. The logos depicted in this section are:

A lower section of the iceberg is titled “The Privacy Enthusiast” with a quote beside it that says “I have nothing I want to show”. The logos depicted in this section are:

An even lower section of the iceberg is titled “The Privacy Activist” with a quote beside it that says “Privacy is a human right”. The logos depicted in this section are:

The lowest portion of the iceberg is titled “The Ghost”. There is a quote beside it that has been intentionally redacted. The images depicted in this section are:

  • A cancel sign over a mobile phone, symbolizing “no electronics”
  • An illustration of a log cabin, symbolizing “living in a log cabin in the woods”
  • A picture of gold bars, symbolizing “paying only in gold”
  • A picture of a death certificate, symbolizing “faking your own death”
  • An AI generated picture of a person wearing a black hoodie, a baseball cap, a face mask, and reflective sunglasses, symbolizing “hiding ones identity in public”

    I wouldn’t put Telegram at the level. I would put it in “The Brainwashed.” Its encryption is disabled by default. You need to manually enable it on each chat, and you can’t enable it on group chats. The app gives a false sense of privacy. Telegram flaunts its end-to-end encryption, but it never mentions that it is disabled by default, and it refuses to enable the default. The final result is that people are not using the feature.

    A cryptographer and professor wrote a good piece about Telegram’s encryption, calling it “unusual” and the “non-standard authenticated encryption mode ever invented”: Is Telegram really an encrypted messaging app?

    Thanks for providing this. It is obvious you put a lot of time into this. Truly appreciated. I will have to look into these.

    How did you find these yourself?

    In regards to addy, are my messages private in relation to the service or does it only serve to keep my anonymity to other threat actors?

    Just tell the normie that you have nothing to say if you have nothing to hide. Also, why there’s no F-Droid?

    I think I’m probably slowly transitioning to “the ghost” but more as a matter of digital minimalism than for privacy lmao

    Using basic things like Graphene OS and keepass shouldn’t be considered privacy activist

    The only thing stopping me from being ‘the Activist Group’ is that Mullvad requires payment. Sorry, but I’m running a little tight on budget.

    At the same time, I can’t use Proton VPN for torrenting.
