yes, HR surely could arrange to provide services within dark web and possibly i could too. But what i want to emphasize again is every individual has control over his own online life. don't post or share things online that you are not ok to share with random unknowns on a street corner. but i think some of us here know eachother for such a long time that it Will be hard to exercise that caution. i understand that. what i suggest is share what is necessary and over secure/encrypted channel. like signal for messaging.

if we exercise self restraint, then i doubt we would need to worry much about privacy or getting hacked and losing data etc.

i don't, cause i have nothing sensitive posted anywhere or kept in a computer.

another thing is always be on the lookout to learn and update yourself on security matters.

dark web is not a very good solution to our privacy problems. it has its weaknesses and ways to reduce its effectiveness. also every user have to be knowledgeable over there to make it effective.

say you are on a list and it gets hacked. then you are in the open.

so just create imaginary identity i guess and maintain it and compartmentalize. when you leave our throw away an identity for some reason, never go back to it. that's it.

Not sure how the privacy thing came up. It's probably important, but once again, for me it was about the herd mentality. Doing something without thinking about what you're doing. Creating a cookie notice bootstrap just because someone else is doing it, and now you think you have to do it too. That was my major "rant". Privacy is of course also a concern, and the suggestions you made ironically also relevant for "think before you do something" instead of just doing it. I guess I don't even have to preach this to you, because you're a much deep thinker than I am. Your head probably works like chess moves when you're working with computers and the internet. You already anticipate a number of moves ahead of the consequences for any move you make right now. I'd love to be as much as a specialist as you and Hidden are in your areas of specialization.
