Securing the digital world: Our focus on internet security
The internet can be dangerous, with millions of people falling victim to cybercrimes (phishing being the most common) each year. However, there are steps you can take to protect yourself.
That includes understanding the risks of identity fraud, ransomware, Trojan horses, computer viruses, hackers, and various online scams. Identifying potential threats is only part of the equation; developing a proactive approach to protecting yourself from these threats is the key to staying safe online. By being informed and taking precautions, you can decrease your risk of becoming a target for cybercriminals.
Helping protect users’ online presence: Our focus on privacy
Your privacy is valuable, but it has faced growing challenges in recent years. Many entities, such as advertisers, governments, and hackers, may seek to gain access to your personal information.
In some cases, you may be willing to trade some of your privacy for convenience, like using the Maps app, even though most of them track your online activity. Finding the right balance between privacy and convenience is imperative.
Through writing about online privacy, PrivacySavvy.com aims to raise awareness about data collection and provide simple strategies for protecting your privacy online. With this in mind, it is critical to know technology’s potential tradeoffs. That ensures you are taking steps to protect your privacy while still enjoying the convenience technology provides.
Navigating online censorship: Why we write about internet freedom
China has the lowest digital freedom score, with a total score of 10 out of 100. While most of our editorial team is located in countries with relatively high internet freedom, we still face online restrictions.
That includes being unable to access our preferred streaming services while traveling or even having social media apps like Skype, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Facebook blocked in specific locations. We also encounter censorship. That includes limited access to explicit YouTube videos, limited access to the American Netflix library, and restricted access to online discounts available only to residents of other countries.
Many internet censorship methods are commonly used to stifle free speech, including IP blocking, DNS tampering, and keyword filtering. We firmly believe it is critical to raise awareness about the various forms of online censorship, the potential impact on democracy and society, and the ways in which people can bypass these restrictions.
Enhancing online experience with VPN: Why we write about it
VPN is a simple and effective way to enhance your online experience. With just a few clicks, you can install an app on your device and connect to a VPN server, which will immediately secure and anonymize your internet traffic.
Additionally, using a VPN allows you to access more parts of the internet. VPNs are a convenient tool that can provide three key benefits: privacy, online security, and freedom. Only a little over 30% of internet users worldwide have used a VPN service. We want to educate more and more people worldwide on why having a VPN is critical today and how to make the most of this tool.
