How to Erase Yourself from the Internet Completely How to Use TOR & How to Remain Anonymous Online When we look at the internet we can look at two broad categories: The surface web The deep web The surface web is where most of your information is easily searchable. But the deep web is a bit more cloaked. This is where service providers like Facebook, twitter, google, and yahoo comes in. They hold more than just personal attributes about yourself, but they have information about who your close personal networks are, what places you frequent to, what goods and services you buy the most, if you are single or married, if you are republican or democrat, if you are in any financial crisis and much more. Then there are Data Brokers, they are the most notorious ones, these are companies that secretly and well lawfully obtain every data and information they can get about you and create a profile, a profile that can explain you and your behavior and habits better than your own family can. Scary enough? It is really true, 100% true. As shady as this may sound, the entire industry of data brokerage is completely legal. Does that mean we are at the mercy of these data brokers? Well, yes and no. If you don't do anything than yes you are at their mercy. But on the other hand, if you care enough about your privacy, then act and be heard and take action to get yourself out of these data broker's computer data base. It is hard but it can be done. There are three ways to go about erasing your digital footprint. You can go about deleting all your online past from websites you have signed up for. Request websites you have no control over to remove your data or suppress it. Be self-disciplined. Don't let your data be re-acquired in the same way as before. I made it my mission to delete myself from them and after 6 months of trying I was successful. Don't believe me? Try and see if you can find me, you know my name, it's on the cover of this book, give it a try see if you can find anything on me. You may find similar names but none would match my exact details. I checked and rechecked I know, I even paid four data broker companies to find me. Funny thing is, most of these companies want you to charge your credit card to find someone, so when I was trying to find myself, I didn't charge my bank cards instead I used a prepaid visa card that I bought from CVS. This book is broken down into two parts to help you understand the whole process. In First Part I Show You Why you should erase yourself from the Internet Benefits of deleting yourself from the net How to delete and deactivate your shopping, all social network and web services accounts How to remove all your email accounts How to delete all search engine results What and why worry about data brokers How to remove yourself from all major data brokers How to hire a company to help you remove yourself from internet In Part Two I Show You: 14 ways to stay anonymous online How to eliminate all cookies, opt out of all tracking How to use a proxy network, how to use anonymous browsers How to go completely anonymous with TOR What and how to use VPN 15 Most popular Android apps to use and be anonymous What and how to use a Tor for Windows and Mac OS How to download and install the TOR browser 11 Do's and Don'ts's of TOR Network I attached a sample cease and desist letter you can send to data brokers to take your personal information off their database. I also included a list of over 100 top data brokers name and contact information so you can contact them. Be safe!

AS SEEN IN THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY THE SOCIAL DILEMMA A WIRED "ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOK" A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK "THE CONSCIENCE OF SILICON VALLEY"- GQ “Profound . . . Lanier shows the tactical value of appealing to the conscience of the individual. In the face of his earnest argument, I felt a piercing shame about my own presence on Facebook. I heeded his plea and deleted my account.” - Franklin Foer, The New York Times Book Review “Mixes prophetic wisdom with a simple practicality . . . Essential reading.” - The New York Times (Summer Reading Preview) You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we’re better off without them. In Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now, Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms. Lanier’s reasons for freeing ourselves from social media’s poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more “connected” than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the benefits of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us toward a richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world.

A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today bestseller "Newport is making a bid to be the Marie Kondo of technology: someone with an actual plan for helping you realize the digital pursuits that do, and don't, bring value to your life."--Ezra Klein, Vox Minimalism is the art of knowing how much is just enough. Digital minimalism applies this idea to our personal technology. It's the key to living a focused life in an increasingly noisy world. In this timely and enlightening book, the bestselling author of Deep Work introduces a philosophy for technology use that has already improved countless lives. Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don't feel overwhelmed by it. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction. Now, Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives, and attempts to unplug completely are complicated by the demands of family, friends and work. What we need instead is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions. Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how digital minimalists are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnecting with their inner selves through regular periods of solitude. He then shares strategies for integrating these practices into your life, starting with a thirty-day "digital declutter" process that has already helped thousands feel less overwhelmed and more in control. Technology is intrinsically neither good nor bad. The key is using it to support your goals and values, rather than letting it use you. This book shows the way.
