The original title is 10 words: "Nobody Is Coming to Save Your Privacy. Build the Tools Yourself"

Short summary

Corporate privacy tools and regulations are ineffective because surveillance is the business model. Build your own infrastructure using open-source tools, move data to hardware you control, and adopt principles like local-first design, open firmware, and compartmentalization. History shows effective privacy wins come from builders, not policy.

• •Privacy products sold by companies are inherently compromised because data extraction is their revenue model
• •Effective privacy requires building infrastructure (not buying products) using open-source tools and hardware you control
• •Specific actions: map your sensitive data, use compartmentalization, adopt local-first principles, keep keys on hardware you can touch
