Hello All!

"Every minute of every day, our data is harvested and
exploited. It is time to pull the plug on the surveillance
economy.

"Governments and hundreds of corporations are spying on you,
and everyone you know. They're not just selling your data.
They're selling the power to influence you and decide for you.
Even when you've explicitly asked them not to.

"Reclaiming privacy is the only way we can regain control of
our lives and our societies. These governments and corporations
have too much power, and their power stems from us--from our
data. Privacy is as collective as it is personal, and it's time
to take back control.

"Privacy Is Power tells you how to do exactly that. It calls
for the end of the data economy and proposes concrete measures
to bring that end about, offering practical solutions, both for
policymakers and ordinary citizens.

I just saved an item in Google tasks - Read "Privacy is Power". The irony is not lost.

There's an subreddit called /selfhosted that I've been interested in; there are quite a few hostable apps that could take the place of G Suite/Microsoft 365 with a bit of tweaking.
