I have been watching him on YouTube. He calls himself the internet privacy guy, and shares some good and some bad knowledge.

To me he is right in a lot things, especially regarding email and degoogled phones, web browsers I guess too.

I do NOT agree with his teachings that;

  • Windows can be fine when modified (which what he shows in a video are not advanced modifications).
  • VPNs being good for your privacy.
  • I also do not see the point in giving misinformation by browsing opposite news media to your political beliefs…
  • Its fine to install proprietary apps on degoogled phones because they have no identity

Maybe I have misunderstand some of his points. What do you think about his teachings?

    I agree with you he is very smart in some things and has no malice. Only that Windows cannot be made safe but he claims it is because he is so stubborn on using video editor (adobe? eek), and he wants to make money with his VPN for sure

      Yeah, he can be a stubborn dumbass. The only way to use Windows safely is how ExplainingComputers guy (excellent youtube channel btw) uses Windows 7 because he insists in using some ancient version of some ancient video editor - completely offline.
