Want to protect your privacy? Here, some resources:
- Collusion. This Firefox tool, which Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs introduced in the TEDTalk “Tracking the Trackers,” records the breadth of companies capturing data about you as you search. Collusion developer Atul Varma spoke to the TED blog in February about the tool, its uses, and what inspired it.
- Tor Project. This free software protects your privacy by bouncing communications all around the world, via a network run by volunteers.
- Do Not Track Plus. This app goes beyond browser-based controls and blocks data collection as you search.
- Lookout. A mobile security app that is available for Android and iPhones.
- European Digital Rights. Founded in 2002, this organization is a clearinghouse of news when it comes to digital civil rights, including telecommunication data retention.
- American Civil Liberties Union. This organization is dedicated to protecting rights in the United States, and considers civil liberties in the digital age one of their key issues.
