Be (Almost) Invisible on the Internet
Have you ever wondered how to keep a low profile and avoid prying eyes and tracking bots when you’re online? Are you tired of Google tracking everything you do?
This seminar at R.H. Stafford Library focuses on how to reduce your information footprint and avoid being tracked when online. We'll start by reviewing how to lock down your devices and online accounts and recommend settings that will keep major social media accounts secure. After touching on how to spot and avoid phishing and smishing, we'll discuss which browsers and plugins to use and how to encrypt your texts, calls, and emails. Then, we'll explain a VPN and why you should use one. Up next is finding and deleting old online accounts. Finally, we'll go over ways to surf without leaving any trace and ways to delete yourself from the internet.
Registration is required.
