oldGregg, in What's the most private way to create and use Instagram?

New burner phone no sim, only wifi. Use public wifi, dedicated email made specifically for insta at the same as the ig account

“Hey bruh, you sellin drugs or what? -Nah, just browsing Insta”

smeg, in What's the most private way to create and use Instagram?

General rule: if there’s a web client then use that instead of an official app

Tundra, (edited ) in What's the most private way to create and use Instagram?

I use GrapheneOS, I run Instagram in a seperate user profile within its own storage scope alongside an app called “Tracker Control” and block most trackers that way.

trackercontrol.org

ViciousTurducken,

So you are forgoing using a VPN?

Tundra,

On the “meta” user profile yes, blocking trackers is more important than hiding my IP for that user profile

scytale, in What's the most private way to create and use Instagram?

Don’t use the app and only log on using a firefox container on desktop, with all the usual privacy extensions. That and the usual - use a new email and maybe a burner number (if they require it). Also take some time to check your account settings (i.e. limit your post audience, etc.)

You’re pretty save without an Antivirus on Linux (we’re just 3%, not worth it for hackers), but if you need to check files, VirusTotal is your friend.

In other news, the sky is blue…

retro, in Privacy friendly authenticator ?

If you like syncing across devices, Bitwarden (paid) or Proton Pass. If you already use Bitwarden and don’t like the idea of having passwords and 2FA in the same place, just make a second Bitwarden account.

mahony, in Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?

I recommend this video from Rob Braxman titled Why an Antivirus Does Nothing for You, just came out recently: invidious.flokinet.to/watch?v=mE7CCZCgRB8

ExtremeDullard, (edited ) in Google privacy button doesn't work, it's claimed
@ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

From TFA:

lawsuit that claims the company has a misleading menu that promises privacy but fails to provide it.

Really? What a shocker…

Google gave users a placebo button that doesn’t work to make them feel in control. But rest assured Google has no intention of giving anybody control of their privacy if they’re not legally obliged to do so - or if they can get the law rewritten to their advantage.

Fake buttons are a very common psychological trick. You can read more about it here.

catsup, in WhatsApp is Censoring your Photos, Videos, Status and DMs (Facebook)

Doubt it. It’s more likely that the video you’re trying to share had a weird codec or an exotic format. If you recode it in another format, you’ll be able to share it. You could try this using any video editing software.

N4CHEM,

Basically the same thing I replied to this same post shared on privacy@lemmy.ml. This 2.5 years old video proves nothing, I don’t trust Facebook nor Meta, but this is a poor quality post.
