[QUOTE="mitharogers, post: 941211, member: 90341"] I used to be a fan of The Hated One but he does give a lot of terrible advice, and a lot of what he says are misrepresentations or outright wrong. For example in this video, he’s bashing Apple, which is totally fair. But he then turns around and tells people that there is an alternative… being “Linux”. Using the Linux kernel doesn’t make you private, [URL='https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html']and it certainly doesn’t make you secure[/URL]. This is just one example though, The Hated One (along with the other “privacy advice” grifters) misrepresent many other things as well and give other terrible advice in respect to whatever they are misrepresenting or lying about. That being said I do really like his videos on VPNs and I’m sure there are some other decent ones. But take this whole “privacy” thing with a grain of salt. The reality is that there currently aren’t any alternatives to most of the technology we use. Promoting “Linux” only hurts us. Instead we ought to be promoting technology that is freedom respecting and secure, not giving ourselves a false sense of safety. [/QUOTE]
