I am not the author.
I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they’ll understand the why and the how.
Nothing new here. I’d recommend checking out PrivacyGuides instead for a more comprehensive and informative list…
The TDS is Strong in this one
For anyone wondering what “TDS” means:
Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a pejorative term, used to describe criticism of or negative reactions to President Donald Trump that are perceived to be irrational and to have little regard for Trump’s actual policy positions.[1] The term has mainly been used by Trump supporters to discredit criticism of him, as a way of reframing the discussion by suggesting that his opponents are incapable of accurately perceiving the world.[2][3] Some journalists have used the term to call for restraint when judging Trump’s statements and actions.[4][5][6]
Despite the usage of the term syndrome suggesting a medical condition, TDS is not an official medical diagnosis.[7] A 2021 research study found no evidence to support the existence of TDS among Trump detractors on the left, but instead found bias among his supporters.[8
Thanks
Are you saying that Trump has no interest in changing our cyber security stance to favor Russia? Or that he’s powerless to do so?

These suggestions are essentially the same as other privacy and libre focused recommendations.

Yeah, I think the title is just bait to get more clicks. Leveraging legitimate fear for what Trump’s administration is doing to garner more clicks is pretty scummy.

Mostly yes, but there are some which are not necessarily as private and closed source but are good options for this specific threat model.
And I just thought the clear explanation of the why combined with the list, makes this an excellent blog to send to people who don’t get it yet.
The list itself is something most of the people in this community know already
