A Presentation on Security & Privacy (lemmy.world)

I live in an authoritarian country. I have a group of friends & acquaintances from a political organization who have asked me to deliver a presentation on security & privacy (specifically for activists). Although I'm somewhat well-wersed in tech, I'm not so confident and there may be things that I might miss. What are some of the things that are often overlooked and I must mention? Thank you.

My most important issue is that phone number is a deanon - your main phone number has to be tied to your ID, so the only option would be a longtime rental, which would get expensive, especially if it is one number per each service.

When I do these trainings I tell them never to enter a phone number into an account because its a huge risk

Ideally just don't have a phone number at all
