Yes, I'm one of them, haha! It would be great to have Linux or a privacy OS...though I haven't found a privacy OS I think will be any good.

I can send you an EPUB directly! Later (when I have time) I'll put a button on there for direct EPUB download as well as the various stores. You can email me at [email protected] if you feel comfortable doing so, or I'll post again when EPUB is on the site.

Hmm...I'd say solutions for people who are not as tech savvy, and how to implement them. Even things as simple as how to change your default browser and search engine, suggestions for different OS's and how to install them on any kind of computer, different options for Microsoft software, etc. For example, I'm on a Mac just because it's still good and I don't want to pay for a new one...I'd love either some simple ways to "harden" it and/or install Linux.

BUT...your audience is obviously more tech savvy and that's OK too! I think we need info for all levels.

Wow, that's so thorough! It's great. I also tried your Beyond Monopoly videos but they are way too advanced for me! :)

I recently signed up for an account on a VPN with a throwaway address, as usual—I torch my account every few months and start a new one—and was almost instantly shadowbanned. This may have been due to other factors, though...like the fact I posted a question in the mason bees sub? :D

As you can see, the book is aimed more at newbies (and people with low-medium level tech knowledge) like myself. doggirl-lol

Thanks for sharing the TOC! Great idea.

Will send, thanks!

Thanks! That's an alias account. Normally I'd use a masked email, but for the press I wanted something a bit more pro looking. If it starts getting spam, it's easy to delete/change.

Oh no! Heck if I know...it's just a Wix site. If you want to share a (masked!) email, I can email you the EPUB or PDF directly. I'm at [email protected]. Sorry about that!

I'm a former journalist, and created a free resource called DISENGAGE: Opting Out—and Finding New Options—to Reclaim Your Life from Spammers, Scammers, Intrusive Marketers and Big Tech.

It's available in PDF and full text on the website, plus EPUB at Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords, and other retailers.

It costs $0. No email needed, no tracking, no affiliate links. It was a passion project and I'm just trying to get the word out.

(If you know anyone in the press who may want a hardcopy, i printed up a couple dozen in print format on my own dime...just let me know!)

Enjoy!
