The Privacy Iceberg

(I tried my best)

The background is an iceberg with 6 levels, denoting 6 different levels of privacy.

The tip of the iceberg is titled “The Brainwashed” with a quote beside it that says “I have nothing to hide”. The logos depicted in this section are:

An even lower section of the iceberg is titled “The Privacy Activist” with a quote beside it that says “Privacy is a human right”. The logos depicted in this section are:

The lowest portion of the iceberg is titled “The Ghost”. There is a quote beside it that has been intentionally redacted. The images depicted in this section are:

    In regards to addy, are my messages private in relation to the service or does it only serve to keep my anonymity to other threat actors?

      I suppose it aims to be private. According to their FAQ:

      • No 3rd-party content, ads, analytics, or trackers
      • Messages are forwarded, but may be stored on their servers in case of a failed delivery
      • Servers are in the Netherlands with Greenhost, which claims to focus on privacy. A backup server is in Poland with UpCloud
      • Messages can be encrypted (including attachments) with your own GPG/OpenPGP key if you enable the option

      The author answers “what if I don’t trust you?” by pointing out that you can host Addy on your own server. It is fully OSS and you don’t need to use their cloud service.

      Both. It’s open source and privacy respecting. Though, email is fundamentally insecure anyways.

        Nice! Will start using. I ran out of Proton aliases this year and have been reusing some of them, which sucks. Thank you
