MODERATORS
Since you noticed the bias, let me give you the real dark history of both Techlore and PrivacyGuides ( Jonah Argon ) and how they took over Privacy Tools.io and closed their subreddit.

Don't trust Privacy YouTubers, trust experts who know what they're talking about
Always funny when people try to pretend this PrivacyTools guy is some brave whistleblower when in reality he destroyed his own website going for a cash grab and then got butthurt when people created better alternatives that actually gave genuine advice instead of ads.
There's no pretending... if you actually click the link the first video is about the practices or Techlore, so I'll make it easy for you :

The rest of the article, talks ( with proof ) about the betrayal of Jonah Argon, changing the website license for example...
Really ? Sounds like a very childish thing to be mad about.. Especially when you realize there are many websites and blogs that are written by experts
I'm not trying to be funny, I'm saying what happened, and simply don't trust Techlore because or the lack of ethics...and going after the cash grab... What kind of Privacy minded individual drives a Tesla? Uses Apple hardware? Promotes proprietary solutions?
Techlore literally said buy my course so you'll have an ad free experience... And PrivacyGuides covers surface level stuff...
Why are you defending Privacy Tools so hard here? Literally anyone can look at the website and see within seconds that it is absolutely loaded with ads and affiliate links. The owner sold out years ago, the privacy community moved on and now he's mad that he can't AFK farm money from his shit website. He has absolutely zero credibility and writes stuff like "fuck fame, fuck money, fuck dishonesty" in that post when he himself literally used the fame of his website to make money by dishonestly recommending sponsored shit on it. It is absolutely bizarre to me that you hold this person up as some kind of moral authority and believe everything he says.
Defending ? so showing that Techlore is doing the same thing ( actually way more worse ) means I'm defending PT ?
I'm not going into who's more corrupt than the other, but I can provide a different source, if you think this one is problematic
But yanno why I'm not focusing on Privacy Tools that much...A - because this post is about Techlore. B - Because the project is dead, so what's the point?
Using this language means nothing to me, and doesn't effect me in anyway shape or form... I have no gain in the matter.. they can both be down tomorrow, and I wouldn't care
