## What Jamie wrote

Good article highlighting 7 techniques to preserve your privacy online. I wrote a similar article about [improving your security and privacy](https://www.thingelstad.com/2022/12/26/what-why-and.html). There is a lot of overlap, although I would have put the last item in this article first.

It is difficult, and your email service has to have features to support this, but using unique email addresses for each service you register for is a huge win for privacy. I use the Masked Email address feature of Fastmail for this, but other services offer things like it.

I would quibble with some of the specific recommendations, but the overall message is spot on.
