„Here’s the thing: I got tired of not knowing what to believe.”
Every time a new privacy threat or tech story broke, I’d see a flood of opinions but no real answers. What’s actually happening? Who’s making money? What can I do about it?
So I started doing the research myself. Digging into government reports, academic studies, the primary sources most people don’t have time to read.
And I wanted to be able to explain this stuff to the people I care about. My friends asking “should I be worried about this?” My family wondering “how can I protect myself?”
Now I want to share these insights with others. With people who want to have an informed opinion and keep up with a tech world that changes way too fast.
If that’s you, welcome!

This report includes descriptions of an AI-enabled extortion scam involving threats of violence against a minor. Some readers may find the scenario distressing, especially parents or caregivers. Reader discretion is advised. Jennifer DeStefano was at her youngest daughter’s dance rehearsal when her phone rang. Unknown number. She almost didn’t answer, but on the final ring…
The Splinternet & Digital Sovereignty: The End of the World Wide Web
Back on January 8, Iran flipped a pretty important switch. Ninety-two million people woke up disconnected. And I’m not talking about an inconvenient slowdown or a few surprise restrictions. It stopped working, period. Landlines turned into expensive paperweights and mobile networks returned nothing but error messages. The government deployed military-grade jammers to block Starlink satellites,…
Neurorights: The Final Frontier of Privacy
This Christmas I gifted myself a pair of AirPods Pro 3. Because I deserve nice things, damn it! … And because my previous set gave up after one too many accidental drops. A few weeks later, I’m scrolling through my iPhone’s Health app (procrastinating, as one does) and I notice something new: my heart rate….
