Description:
Step-by-Step Privacy Hardening: Apple is better than Microsoft and Google when it comes to privacy—but they still collect way too much of your data. If you want the strongest digital privacy, Linux is the gold standard. But if you're not ready to make the switch just yet, you can still dramatically improve your Mac’s privacy. In this video, we walk you through privacy expert Michael Bazzell’s recommended macOS setup—from purchasing a device (without linking it to your identity), to reformatting, disabling invasive features, and installing the right tools. 00:00 Apple promises only THEY will abuse your data 02:20 Purchasing Your Mac 03:14 Choose a Model 03:41 Used Devices: Update, Reformat, Install OS 08:28 Initial Setup 11:32 WiFi and Bluetooth 11:50 OS Firewall 13:14 Notifications 14:16 Airdrop, Siri, and Sharing 15:33 Gatekeeper 18:26 Analytics and Ads 19:01 Time 20:15 Filevault 22:02 Dock, Wallpaper and Finder 25:35 Application Firewall / 3rd Party Apps 28:09 Conclusion Apple does build decent privacy tools—but they definitely don’t make it easy to opt out of their own surveillance. With the right tools and configurations, though, you can take back control of your digital environment. Whether you're doing sensitive work or simply believe in the right to privacy, these steps put you in charge. Special Thanks to Michael Bazzell for leading the way in tech privacy and research!
