Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Working in cybersecurity and mistaking your own online behavior as being relevant for everyone else. How could that possibly backfire? /s
If someone cares, they have to be careful. No amount of anonymous tor usage will prevent exposing you if you Google your name and social security number.
You shouldn't go around advising people to use anonymous payment methods for search engines that "protect your privacy". That's really bad advice, is all I am saying. But good for you...
They protect your privacy as much as a search engine can.
You really need to step back and reevaluate.
What exactly?
In this scenario: Your assessment of the reality of what "protecting people's privacy" means.
