LESSON 3 · Who's Watching You? Digital Privacy
Building Your Privacy Practice
Privacy is not all-or-nothing. Build protection in layers:
- Tier 1 — switch search engine, messaging app, and browser settings. Takes 30 minutes with immediate benefit
- Tier 2 — install ad blockers, audit app permissions, use a password manager. Takes an afternoon of setup
- Tier 3 — use a VPN, separate emails, enable encrypted DNS. Takes a weekend to configure properly
Each layer you add makes you a harder target for mass surveillance.
