The Binary Tattoo page is retiring... sort of.
First, thank you to everyone who has visited, followed, and interacted with this page over the last 7+ years. It is recognized and appreciated.
BUT over the last year Facebook has made it incredibly difficult to manage a business page in a way that allows the managing individual to be private. And well, as a privacy focused business, that doesn't make sense. For example, I used to post a lot of my content from an outside tool (Hootsuite). Now if I want to use Hootsuite I have to allow it through a setting that lets Facebook follow me *personally* around the internet on every site I visit. That's a hard pass. And without Hootsuite I have to log in frequently, again as myself, allowing Facebook to scoop up more personal data. The page will stay up (for now) but posting will be infrequent.

* What application or service you will NOT install on your phone?
* What application or service do you know takes your but the value of that application is worth it anyway?
* What piece of data do you wish people would stop sharing?
* What’s your favourite book or movie about privacy?
* And, admittedly, do you have at least one password that is your pet’s name?

Check out the answers in the article below. Honestly, it was an exercise worth doing just for the awesome list of reading suggestions! And hopefully the guidance helps you consider the safety of your own data.

Whenever I visit a specialist, like a car mechanic or a dentist, and they give me options, I always ask “what would YOU do in this situation?” I like to defer to the professional’s opinion. Why not apply this to privacy? I reached out to my network of privacy consultants, lawyers, and security...
