In this video I make the argument as to why I think Google is an evil and manipulative company, and why you should eliminate, or at least reduce, the data you choose to give them.

Learn how to break away from this manipulative tech paradigm by taking one of our DHAC courses, free yourself from manipulation and become a more sovereign citizen.

Lots of talk and pending legislation that aims it's sights at banning encryption, which is absolutely not possible. Sure, you could make speaking out loud illegal, but could anyone actually stop you?

In this video I discuss what I think are the better, if not best, map applications out there to use with your Android device. These can be downloaded and installed from F-Droid or the Aurora Store on any Android phone.
