Happy new year from the Opt Out Project!
Dear fellow data economy resistors--and aspiring resistors!
I'm thrilled that my article about my undetectable family trip to Disneyland is now online at PublicBooks.org. You won't want to miss this one. It not only includes the crazy antics necessary to keep our data from being sniffed by The Mouse. It also offers important lessons about those shiny yet flimsy "conveniences" that Big Tech offers us daily. Want the full tech backstory? You can check it out at the Opt Out Project under Stories.
As for more tips and tricks for keeping your data privacy under control, visit the Opt Out Project for newly posted tips on:

My series on Reproductive Privacy is essential reading for anyone using a period tracker and anyone considering a pregnancy. Pass the link along to help ensure they get help when they need it, without leaving a digital trace.
And in other news, The Opt Out Project was featured by Sailfish's Community News in January! We are happy to be among friends in our search for data autonomy.
