The Privacy Iceberg

This is original content. AI was not used anywhere except for the bottom right image, simply because I could not find one similar enough to what I needed. This took around 6 hours to make.

Transcription (for the visually impaired)

(I tried my best)

The background is an iceberg with 6 levels, denoting 6 different levels of privacy.

The tip of the iceberg is titled "The Brainwashed" with a quote beside it that says "I have nothing to hide". The logos depicted in this section are:

The surface section of the iceberg is titled "As seen on TV" with a quote beside it that says "This video is sponsored by...". The logos depicted in this section are:

An underwater section of the iceberg is titled "The Beginner" with a quote beside it that says "I don't like hackers and spying". The logos depicted in this section are:

A lower section of the iceberg is titled "The Privacy Enthusiast" with a quote beside it that says "I have nothing I want to show". The logos depicted in this section are:

An even lower section of the iceberg is titled "The Privacy Activist" with a quote beside it that says "Privacy is a human right". The logos depicted in this section are:

The lowest portion of the iceberg is titled "The Ghost". There is a quote beside it that has been intentionally redacted. The images depicted in this section are:

  • A cancel sign over a mobile phone, symbolizing "no electronics"
  • An illustration of a log cabin, symbolizing "living in a log cabin in the woods"
  • A picture of gold bars, symbolizing "paying only in gold"
  • A picture of a death certificate, symbolizing "faking your own death"
  • An AI generated picture of a person wearing a black hoodie, a baseball cap, a face mask, and reflective sunglasses, symbolizing "hiding ones identity in public"

End of transcription.

sexy chart!

Could use some anti-malware/AV for beginners and privacy enthusiast level.

Not everyone in there is running a secured OS.

Malwarebytes is good in my opinion and ads didn't told me about it. I discovered it by myself. And nowdays ads can't really tell me much because I block every single ad I just possibly can.

I just switched from Android to iOS, and while I have many complaints, I’m pleasantly surprised by how “walled off” the apps mostly are. Unlike Android, they have to comply to function for the general public.

It feels a lot more like tier two, where it isn’t like a spyware implant but your banking app or whatever will still function. And yes I know it’s far from good, just talking degrees here…

Even before I cared about privacy, I think Apple would've been unacceptable to me due to how tightly locked down it is. Like... I'd have to go through hoops and pay some money for a cert (not much if you know where to look, but still) to get something as basic as an adless Youtube client.
