are you concerned about your privacy on the internet?
by Pirate Praveen 06 Sep '14

06 Sep '14

Those who have nothing to hide or think they don't share anything private on facebook or whatsapp can safely ignore the message. Alternatively you can think you will never share a nude photo anyway so you don't need privacy. You may also think privacy is needed only for celebrities and geeks, then also you can ignore this post. Another reason for ignoring could be to wait till these tools become famous. Do you want to learn how to ensure your privacy on the internet? Do you want to ensure all your friends also follow these practices? Then join us the coming weekend to learn and promote the tools to ensure privacy for everyone. http://www.meetup.com/Diaspora/Mumbai-IN/1205392/
