This article discusses how to protect privacy, amidst concerns of increased government surveillance.

The article is aimed at Asylum seekers & immigrants to the US, but it's solid advice for anyone, really.

Recommendations include using encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Apple iMessage, and WhatsApp, and setting messages to disappear.

It also recommends minimizing data sharing and deleting data when possible, particularly from Google.

#JohanaBhuiyan suggests to #autoDelete messages and I agree with her.

While this is not a "hard" security measure and might lead to a false sense of security, it is an easy and effective method of #dataHygiene.

I wonder, if any #Jabber clients have this feature?
