Deep dives
Thoughts on Dark Web Monitoring Services
The podcast discusses the value and effectiveness of dark web monitoring services. While these services can help alongside data removal services, it is difficult to assess their effectiveness. It's unclear whether to go with mainstream services or more expensive IT departments. The speaker expresses skepticism about their ability to discover new services and get data removed, as many dark web hosts may not comply with takedown requests. They question the overall value and suggest focusing on data security practices like aliasing and freezing credit.
Camera App Recommendations for Android
The podcast addresses a question about camera app recommendations for Android. They mention that the default camera app on some phones, like Google Camera on Pixels, may offer better quality due to hardware integration. They suggest waiting for the release of the fork of Simple Mobile Tools, called Falsify Camera. In the meantime, Open Camera is recommended for its customizability, although it may not provide the same quality as Google Camera on Pixel phones. They also mention using G Cam but advise disabling internet access with a firewall for privacy.
