If you can't open chrome on a pc, connect an android phone to it, and use a simple web tool you're probably not capable of any actual level of digital privacy.
This isn't me being elitist its just the fact that the resources needed to make this shit viable and easy are being tied up to corporations in order to make more easy-to-use corporate spyware.
Privacy under fascism takes time, effort, and education. Stop fucking expecting it to be OOTB. Society is literally engineered against that. Its not a reasonable ask of open source devs making privacy tools.
What else can those who value privacy and have computer skills do but try to be a good example and offer to help to those around them without the know-how?
Agreed, but teaching them the skills to do it themselves is better than doing the process for them.
Look at the teacher over here with the sensible opinions about teaching people to fish ...
