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.

sexy chart!

Could use some anti-malware/AV for beginners and privacy enthusiast level.

Not everyone in there is running a secured OS.

What is so bad about nordvpn? What makes protonvpn better?

Been a nordvpn user for around 4 years now. If I need to switch I'll do it, this is just the first time I've heard it isn't all that great.

I guess I'm in the privacy enthusiast section. Although I do use searxng. And I will admit I do use some things from the top layer, like YouTube and steam. Also i don't like how proton is a section above tuta aside from quantum safe encryption which is meaningless at the current state of technology (I agree that could change soon) aside from that proton mail is just as good as tuta.

I use everything from the privacy enthusiast section on a daily basis except for addy.io and tuta since i use proton for email and email aliasing.

Android missing?

Hi from near the top of the iceberg. I have five from the top and two from the next level down, plus two from level four. A balanced diet?
