 When I was 8 years old, I created a personal website that included my name, email, and phone number. It took months of back-and-forth with Google and the blogging website to remove it from search engine results. This is what public exposure is: the data publicly available about you online, often put out there by yourself when you didn't care about privacy. It can be quite hard and sometimes impossible to take this information down. In fact, it's always impossible to truly delete something you've posted on the internet. This is why you should adopt the mindset that anything you say, post, or share online might stay there forever. Even if it's encrypted, you need to assume it will be read one day—maybe not in your lifetime, but eventually.
 
 Prevention is the best treatment. The best way to keep your data private is to not make it public in the first place. Remember, nobody will call the cops on you because you didn't sign up on Instagram with your real identity. It's the internet, not the military or a bank. You don't need to use your real name, phone number, or home address. Keep your real phone number for people you know personally, not for every troll, doxxer, or whoever might use the internet. The same goes for your real name and other personal details.

+### Avoiding Censorship
+
+Sometimes you need privacy and security to avoid censorship, whether it's applied by a government, a platform like Twitter, or a Matrix server administrator. Most of us, including myself, hate censorship. Censorship holds society back from growth; it's like shutting off innovation, creativity, and new ideas. It is typically applied by those who need to protect their empires by force because they themselves know how wrong they are.

+In this scenario, privacy tools like VPNs, proxies, encrypted DNS, and Tor can help you bypass censorship. Privacy-friendly platforms like Mastodon, which allow you to host them yourself, enable you to freely express your thoughts without someone like Elon Musk getting mad at you.
