The Privacy Iceberg

This is original content. AI was not used anywhere except for the bottom right image, simply because I could not find one similar enough to what I needed. This took around 6 hours to make.

Transcription (for the visually impaired)

(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:

The surface section of the iceberg is titled "As seen on TV" with a quote beside it that says "This video is sponsored by...". The logos depicted in this section are:

An underwater section of the iceberg is titled "The Beginner" with a quote beside it that says "I don't like hackers and spying". The logos depicted in this section are:

A lower section of the iceberg is titled "The Privacy Enthusiast" with a quote beside it that says "I have nothing I want to show". 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:

  • A cancel sign over a mobile phone, symbolizing "no electronics"
  • An illustration of a log cabin, symbolizing "living in a log cabin in the woods"
  • A picture of gold bars, symbolizing "paying only in gold"
  • A picture of a death certificate, symbolizing "faking your own death"
  • An AI generated picture of a person wearing a black hoodie, a baseball cap, a face mask, and reflective sunglasses, symbolizing "hiding ones identity in public"

End of transcription.

Just tell the normie that you have nothing to say if you have nothing to hide. Also, why there's no F-Droid?

I'm like a mix of the three tiers above ghost and in not really trying to be which is odd

I love this! May I share on my blog and with my newsletter subscribers at Punching Up Press? We're probably in boxes #2 and #3, with a lot of readers starting off in box #1.

I was actually expecting you to comment.

May I share on my blog and with my newsletter subscribers at Punching Up Press?

Absolutely! Giving credit is appreciated, as well.

Haha,, I always love a good infographic! Who can I credit for the infographic and links? I have only like 65 subscribers since I don't do much promotion, but I think this will be very helpful to them.

Who can I credit for the infographic and links?

Simply leaving a link to this post is fine. Thank you!

Kudos for inclusive alt texting!!

[–] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 1 points 53 minutes ago

That’s the only reason I upvoted this!

[–] dontblink@feddit.it 5 points 7 hours ago

I think I'm probably slowly transitioning to "the ghost" but more as a matter of digital minimalism than for privacy lmao

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Wow this blew up. People still not getting the meme portion of this?

[–] Charger8232@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I have my inbox hooked up to my RSS reader, too, which means I get a notification on my phone every single time someone comments...

Using basic things like Graphene OS and keepass shouldn't be considered privacy activist

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Calling GrapheneOS a "basic thing" when 99% of people will never touch their OS is a bit of a stretch.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I keep my passwords in an encrypted file instead of a bunch of sticky notes! I'm a privacy activist!

Next step: Faking your own death

[–] simop_jo@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

Is tuta better than protonmail?

Is it easy to implement Openwrt?

[–] prex@aussie.zone 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Very easy - as long as your router is on the table of hardware.

[–] usuarioimanol@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Thank you very much, I will investigate this further to see if it is feasible to implement.

[–] utopiah@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago

I already made browser suggestions https://lemmy.ml/post/29712598/18453254 but I would also add Ceno https://ceno.network/ in the 5th layer due to its P2P and caching nature.

[–] DimFisher@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

I m definitely a privacy enthusiast, but I use searx also, the rest I have no clue what they are
