I just watch YouTube signed out in Safari. It is very easy to build your algorithm from there. I don't mind the ads since I don't watch YouTube mainly on my phone and I occasionally clear cookies.
You can also install Orion Browser, made by Kagi creators of a privacy focused paid search engine, which supports Firefox extensions like uBLock but I don't think it is open source right now but It will be soon.

The Tea App leak is an example why you should not always give your face and ID willy-nilly
If you submit your ID to a random app with no history and unknown developers and company, don't be surprised if it gets leaked. This app is garbage and should be removed immediately. The company most likely used AI.
Tbf, PornHub's ID verification is better than this. You can trust PornHub more than this random app with your ID, and there's a reason why. This app just collected your ID for no reason. No wonder they only allow US users!

Use X without an account (if you really want to ig)
X is unusable without an account, It always nags you to make one no matter what.

We started a new privacy podcast.
Shouldn't the podcast about passwords and 2FA be called "Security 101" instead of "Privacy 101"? How is that related to privacy? You should have two sections for your episodes: one for privacy and one for security.

Never install an app like Instagram on your phone, It will know your device even if you uninstall the app or use a different IP.

Signal is also US-based and Cape is literally a carrier with coverage only in America. I found one of there employees that previously worked 9 years with DuckDuckGo and is now working with Cape.

The coverage is only in America, I guess it doesn't need to be collected over there
They use Digital Signatures instead of usernames and passwords. Cape employees don't port out numbers and only you can with a 24 word seedphrase you can read more about it here so I guess they are more secure compared to others.
This has to be a joke, what do you mean "just use signal" and "open source" ???
Stripe handles the actual card details, while Cape only receives the token, which cannot be mapped to your real credit card number. Stripe generates a token that is stored on cape's systems to confirm a payment has been made. Cape does not store your credit card number. Cape does not associate tokens to subscribers

They have a special option called Obscura but it is only available via contact
One of Cape Obscura’s key features is identifier rotation. By regularly changing the identifiers your phone transmits—like IMSI, IMEI, and AdID—Cape makes it nearly impossible for trackers or malicious actors to follow your digital footprint. Source

[OC] What People Think Privacy/Security Is
How is iCloud not secure or privacy focused? You make no sense with this list. iOS is insanely secure compared to stock android.

It's bad op-sec and general privacy. What if you don't want anybody knowing you use a old burner phone? Some people even hide there timezone even though millions of people have the same one, RFP hides your timezone aswell. People don't share there birthday even though they aren't the only person with it even without the year. It's about connecting the dots with multiple pieces of information, and this is one of them.

Love that you mentioned Libredirect! I don't like how maps redirects to OpenStreetMap though, why not just redirect to Duck Maps, which uses Apple Maps.

Is there a reason why you are not using the regular youtube? Just curious since I currently use YouTube website signed out on iOS. Invidious does not have recommendations aswell.
