014 - Social Media, OPSEC for OSINT, and AI Security

The Lockdown - Practical Privacy & Security

This week I respond to a few listener questions, primarily around the use of social media as a privacy enthusiast. Love it or hate it, you can guess which camp I'm in, social media like LinkedIn has almost become a requirement for job searches, employers, and connecting with other professionals. I also touch on OPSEC for OSINT, a new talk track I am planning to present in the future. It's important for all of us to maintain better Operational Security (OPSEC). Finally, I share my latest blog post: Venturing into AI Security with Locally Hosted LLMs, and why locally hosted AI is essential for privacy.

In this week's episode:

1. Redacting ███ in your social media profiles
2. Minimizing the use of profile photos
3. Always assume private profiles are NEVER private
4. Addiction to social media and down regulation of the dopamine receptors
