That site is a neo-fascist, nazi-adjacent, project. It's the same corporation that owns the swedish newspaper Nya Dagbladet, known for being cosy with a neo-nazi group that got a terrorist classification from the Biden administration.

https://2021-2025.state.gov/terrorist-designations-of-nordic...

Didn't expect this kind of outlet to show up here.

walterbell•9mo ago
Thanks for sharing information on another portfolio company owned by the publisher of this article, i.e. two degrees of corporate separation. Are there public tools which can provide ownership and portfolio analysis about any article URL? Do you have any feedback on the privacy-focused content of this specific article?

For social network analysis of article metadata as a proxy for article content quality, the author is founder of Ludlow Institute in United States, whose board of advisors includes, https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/about

  Phil Zimmermann, PGP creator
  Christine L. Petersen, coined the term "open source"
  Perry Metzger, Cryptography mailing list creator
cess11•9mo ago
There is no separation. Nordic Times is owned and run by the same corporation, Aeon Media Group AB. You'll find that Isac Boman on the board is also the editor of Nya Dagbladet.

Why the Ludlow Institute has decided to cooperate with neo-fascists is something you'd have to ask them about, but these people have decades of experience in masquerading as press when they're really not. Here's an example of green party student activists falling for it:

https://tidningensyre.se/2022/14-oktober-2022/grona-studente...

The contents of the article aren't interesting. You don't invite fascists in because they happen to have a point or act politely occasionally.

walterbell•9mo ago
> The contents of the article aren't interesting.

Could you recommend a better article on privacy?

vextea•9mo ago
Could also just be similar to the case highlighted in Syre with articles copied from Miljömagasinet, where they published them without permission.

Thanks for the warning!

I find it sad that a whole article can be dismissed due to where it is published. By itself, it is completely fine and blasts already open doors to the HN crowd, but I like its concise wording and how it phrases some points, like the one about GMail.

Though it is quite interesting that such a privacy stance on "I have nothing to hide" comes in an allegedly neo-nazi paper, knowing this is the mindset that led so many people to be tracked by nazis. People knowingly went to nazi census. I find it quite ironic.

EDIT: verbatim copy of https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-.... @dang perhaps?

vextea•9mo ago
It seems like the article is a verbatim copy from the site that OP posted in the comments (Ludlow something)
walterbell•9mo ago
Thanks for finding the original, current link was near the top of a web search. Bizarre that it outranked the original.

Could HN mods please replace with this URL? https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-...

tuetuopay•9mo ago
Indeed: https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-...

I don't know what this insitute is nor its color however.

walterbell•9mo ago
De-anonymization points made by the article author:

  Battery percentage, Bluetooth connections, and light sensor data can be used to re-identify you after switching networks.

  Break behavioral tracking patterns by changing your scrolling, typing, and browsing habits.

  Your new email, phone number, or payment method can be linked back to your old identity through data brokers, loyalty programs, and behavioral analysis.

  Data collectors don’t care who you are—they collect everything. If laws change, or you become notable.

Stopped reading at "Use Brave", "Use Mullvad Browser".

Know your local noob by which browser fork he uses.

Upstream security response will always be better, your "builtin" features doesn't mean its more lightweight and it adds more attack vectors to a less vetted product.

Knowing about it will not make much difference. the market is a system that will force it on you regardless of if you want it or not.
