If you don’t know me, I make frequent write ups about privacy and security. I’ve covered some controversial topics in the past, such as whether or not Chromium is more secure than Firefox. Well, I will try my hand again at taking a look at some controversial topics.

I need ideas, though. So far, I would like to cover the controversy about Brave, controversy around Monero and other cryptocurrencies, and controversy around AI. These will be far easier to research and manage than Chromium vs. Firefox, for example. I’d like to know which ideas you have!

Which controversial privacy topics do you know of that you would like to see covered?

PLEASE DO NOT ARGUE ABOUT THEM IN THE COMMENTS!

Please save any debate for if/when I make a write up about the topic. Keep the comments clean, and simply upvote ideas you would like to see covered. I won’t be able to cover everything, so it helps bring attention!

Above all else, be kind, even if you don’t agree with an idea or topic :)

    Neither. A VPN is a tool. It’s useful for bypassing geo-restrictions, allows you to act as a local device in the server’s local network which is really useful, and can have a benefit to privacy when paired with other tools.

    A lot of VPN ads however are overblown with the “VPNs keep you safe online” and “Don’t use the internet without a VPN”, these are dishonest marketing practices which should be seen as a massive red flag.
