Why should I care?¶
“I have nothing to hide. Why should I care about my privacy?”¶
Much like the right to interracial marriage, woman's suffrage, freedom of speech, and many others, our right to privacy hasn't always been upheld. In several dictatorships, it still isn't. Generations before ours fought for our right to privacy. Privacy is a human right, inherent to all of us, that we are entitled to (without discrimination).
You shouldn't confuse privacy with secrecy. We know what happens in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That's because you want privacy, not secrecy. Everyone has something to protect. Privacy is something that makes us human.
What should I do?¶
First, you need to make a plan¶
Trying to protect all your data from everyone all the time is impractical, expensive, and exhausting. Mais ne vous en faites pas ! La sécurité est un processus et, en anticipant, vous pouvez élaborer un plan qui vous convient. La sécurité ne concerne pas seulement les outils que vous utilisez ou les logiciels que vous téléchargez. Au contraire, elle commence par une compréhension des menaces uniques auxquelles vous êtes confrontés, et comment les atténuer.
This process of identifying threats and defining countermeasures is called threat modeling, and it forms the basis of every good security and privacy plan.
