[Ta3m-Seattle] A question about protecting digital privacy

[Jigna Kotecha]

Hello everyone,

I'm a grad student at UW, working on a project to find
innovations/practices/methods to protect digital privacy.

I'm concerned about my digital footprints from being misused for
marketing, stalking, abuse, doxing. And I want to take precautionary
measures to hide/protect my footprints. I am looking for methods that
are suited for people who are situationally disadvantaged, who cannot
totally opt out of social media and who also lack technical expertise.

Thanks to Paul English and Christopher Sheats for the suggestion, I
thought Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays listserv will be a great place to
start this discussion, get recommendations, and learn new methods that
some of you may have innovated to protect your digital privacies.

I would really appreciate any kind of help that you may offer. Looking
forward to hearing from you all.
(I also posted this question on Seattle Privacy Coalition listserv. If
are on both the listservs, sorry for receiving this message twice.)

Sincerely,
Jigna Kotecha
