#GlobalSwitchDay

✅ EASY STEPS

Browser → @firefox @torproject
(10 minutes for FF, then learn about Tor)

Google → @duckduckgo @StartpageSearch
(1 minute and you're free)

WhatsApp → @signalapp
(Start with family, then scale)

Gmail → @protonprivacy @Tutanota @posteo_en
(Start with the free plan, a full switch could take months, planning and a paid account, but it's worth)

Maps → @openstreetmap
(Maps work, but you have hundreds of less metadata for itineraries and shops-bars)

X → @Mastodon
(I supposed you already know that)

Don't procrastinate, reown your data and privacy.

Until Andy Yen is made to step down from Proton and Proton disavows political alignment with any political party, rather than the PR equivalent of them "keeping their opinions to themselves", switching to Proton shouldn't be encouraged.

There's also Disroot, though you have to opt in encryption by sending an email.

Tuta's pretty much like proton. Though it doesn't have IMAP (proton only had the bridge, but better than nothing)
