Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons Podcast

Privacy Peeps Panel

On today’s show, I’ll take you behind the scenes of not one, not two, but three different privacy websites. I ask Nate from The New Oil and Niek from Privacy Guides how they deal with being a public figures advocating for privacy, how they set their personal standards for privacy products, and how they cope with people and product makers who complain about their recommendations (or lack thereof). I ask them about some favorite products that they’ve had to remove from their recommended lists and where they go to keep up to date on privacy topics and products. Finally, I ask them what gives them hope about the future of privacy and what keeps them up at night.
