Privacy tools are not magic shields. They only work when the projects behind them stay awake, move quickly, and help users patch before a known weakness becomes a real threat.
My new post, Privacy Tools Patch Discipline, looks at recent Tor Browser and Tails updates, the Copy Fail Linux kernel issue, and why using privacy tools also means building better update habits.
Self-sovereignty is not just choosing better tools. It is maintaining them.
Do you treat updates as part of your privacy routine?
