Basically user is only responsible party that keeps all information private.

For better or worse, probably for worse, the average user - even those who care about privacy - isn't going to know how and put the effort into, keeping their data private. Things like ensuring your recovery email has never been accessed with your real IP address is just a start. People also like to do stuff like reuse passwords, which is a really silly thing to do (for anything important).

For Privacy there also Darknets, which are censor resistant and privacy fokused

There are also several Darknets:
TOR (i recommend Whonix):
www.whonix.org

Whonix - Superior Internet Privacy

Whonix can anonymize everything you do online! It runs like an App, is a Free, Open Source and Kicksecure™ hardened Linux distribution.

Zeronet:
Hyphanet:
i2p+:

I2P Anonymous Network

Anonymous peer-to-peer distributed communication layer built with open source tools and designed to run any traditional Internet service such as email, IRC or web hosting.
geti2p.net geti2p.net

BE CAREFUL: Those are unmoderated and certainly include some shady / harmful stuff

The best way to use these is in a VM like Whonix or Kicksecure:
www.kicksecure.com

Kicksecure - Secure by Default Operating System

A secure by default operating system with the latest security research in place.

Post in thread 'Leaving Big Tech and switching to European services'

The topic brings about an interest in the many and various forms of "eyes" which routinely gather info from people, world wide.

The article below gives an idea of just how extensive this is.

So when Firefox or Librewolf etc etc etc tell you your info etc is safe with them.... it is bs. The great majority of info is gathered via ISP's

There is only ONE action that safeguards your info....and that is encryption.....and even then, BOTH sender and receiver of emails MUST be BOTH using encryption.

Good Luck

Then again if your emails cover such rivetting topics as your aunties...

The only truly private and secure way to have a conversation is to meet up in the park. No phones allowed!!!

Have you seen Coppola's The Conversation? If not then I highly recommend it. You might be surprised. ;)
 
Yes, what he did in that movie is just fantastic. And the movie itself is a masterpiece about surveillance, privacy, paranoia and guilt. The movie is fifty years old, but everyone should see it today - one of the themes is a story about a guy who's wasted his life, because of his obsession with privacy. Sounds familiar? ;)
