• Ash HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?

  Use briar. Use LineageOS without gapps (aka without Google Play Services). Obviously don't use Meta or Google apps, because that's where the backdoors are for governments. Use AppWarden to enable/disable/verify the usage of known trackers in your apps. Use NetGuard as an Android firewall.

• What if I have two phones? One for real life use, one for social media?

  Now is it possible to use different devices and not be identified? yes.. But it takes work.You need to isolate the device and cut off every connection it has to Facebook, including system level apps. If you're using an Android a quick look at the "new phone" after installing Netguard will show you that many default apps make connections to Facebook. Source: 9 months ago
