Digital Self Defense
A 3-Hour Course on Taking Back Your Privacy
Your personal information is already out there. Your name, address, phone number, and daily habits are being bought and sold by companies you have never heard of. Your messages may not be as private as you assume. Your browser is building a profile of you whether you know it or not.
Most people have no idea how much of this is preventable. That is what this course is for.
What This Is
Digital Self Defense is a 3-hour live course offered via Zoom. No technical background required. No jargon. Just practical tools and habits you can implement the same day, taught by someone who has spent years working in intelligence and security and uses all of this in his own life.
The course covers everything from the basics to the things most privacy guides skip entirely.
We start with threat modeling, which is the foundation everything else builds on. Before you choose a tool or change a habit, you need to understand what you are actually protecting, from whom, and how much risk you actually carry. From there we move through password managers, multifactor authentication, encrypted messaging apps, encrypted email providers, VPNs and what they actually do versus what the marketing claims, browser security and tracker blocking, social media exposure and how to reduce it, and a live walkthrough of finding and removing your personal data from data broker and people-finder sites.
Who This Is For
This course is for activists, organizers, and anyone whose safety or privacy depends on keeping their communications and identity protected. It is also for parents who want to understand what their household’s digital exposure looks like, professionals who handle sensitive information, and honestly anyone who has ever Googled themselves and been unsettled by what came up.
You do not need to be technically inclined. You need to be willing to spend three hours taking this seriously.
