So, what can we do about it? Jack Scott (

@JackScottAU For Privacy Tasmania 2013 – “Nothing to hide but plenty to fear…”
We don’t want to be all doom and gloom
The Easy Stuff Stuff that requires a minute’s work once,
and protects you forever.
Who’s got a mobile phone?
None
None
Turn off location tracking services on your phone (if you
can) Google Maps, Google Latitude, Google Now
It will look something like this: http://www.howto-connect.com/configure-and-use-google-now-in-android-phone/
Or maybe like this: http://features.en.softonic.com/how-to-prevent-google-now-battery-drain
You see this? Don’t do this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dalelane/4647951547/sizes/o/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joncrel/6543116027/sizes/o/in/photostream/
Who uses a search engine?
Change your default search engine DuckDuckGo is a good choice
So is StartPage
If you’re going to use Google or Bing… At least
turn off search history tracking.
Who uses a social network? Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter, LinkedIn
Tweak your privacy settings. It’s a lot easier than you
think.
Who uses a web browser?
Think about installing an ad- blocking plugin It really is
a case of killing two birds with one stone! - but only if you like killing birds.
Turn on Do-Not-Track in your browser Not yet widely used
by websites, but it’s another layer of defence.
A Bit More Effort… Stuff that is still “easy” technically
but requires a bit more willpower.
Use a different password for every site Most repeated advice
out there – ever! But it’s good advice.
Change your habits around social networks
It’s a bit like a jigsaw puzzle – every piece
gives you an idea of what the whole picture looks like. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mujitra/3602384647/sizes/o/in/photostream/
Install and use Tor Tor is a browser designed to
make you as secure as possible while on the Internet.
The Hard Stuff
Encrypt your email The best way is with a technology
called PGP.
PGP is: • “Pretty Good Privacy” • A way of
encrypting the contents of your email so only the recipient can decrypt it – nobody else. • No need to share passwords – everybody has their own password. • Doesn’t encrypt the metadata, so the government can still see who you are talking to.
