Over the last few years we've come to realise how much of our online activity and data is being tracked by governments and the big tech companies. This wasn't the original intention for the open web. Far from it in fact but in a world of data harvesting, data selling and data leaks, people are now finally waking up to what their data is worth.

In this podcast we cover the steps you can take to protect your online privacy and security in a surveillance capital world. Included is the best hardware to use, how to stop the big ad networks from tracking your every move online, the best privacy and security software to use and more.
