From the On Tyranny series by Timothy Snyder, Lesson #14 of twenty. Check here for a lesson every Monday or you can find them on YouTube.  They are all short videos, no ads.

“Nastier rulers will use what they know about you to push you around. Scrub your computer of malware on a regular basis. Remember that email is skywriting. Consider using alternative forms of the internet or simply using it less. Have personal exchanges in person. For the same reason, resolve any legal trouble. Tyrants will seek the hook on which to hang you. Try not to have hooks.”
