</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>I previously wrote about <ahref="privacy_for_the_whole_family.md"title="Privacy For The Whole Family">how I got became more privacy caring individual</a> and I tooted about <ahref="https://fosstodon.org/@murtezayesil/104480280886518081">My Master Plan for Privacy of My Family</a>. As I grew up, I came to realize how much we gave up on privacy for the convinience and "free" services. We are social creatures. I was using Google Photos, WhatsApp, Youtube and Instagram as much as I could and my family is doing the same. We are putting each other's privacy at stake by uploading data about each other without knowing. I decided to change that either by finding privacy focused alternatives to digital services I was using or by build server system to offer alternatives myself.</p>
<p>I am not the first to do this. There are many privacy friendly alternatives developed by people who care about privacy. It isn't hard to find those <ahref="https://alternativeto.net/"title="Crowdsourced Software Recomendations">alternatives</a>. Many people went through this journey, which I call "Digital Cleansing For Better Privacy". During my journey, I will document the steps I have taken and write my thoughts about the alternatives I tried.</p>
<hr>
<h1>Digital Cleansing For Better Privacy</h1>
<ol>
<li>Identifying products and services we use</li>
<li>Finding/Offering alternatives</li>
<li>Moving to alternatives and helping my family to move as well</li>
</ol>
<hr>
<p>After identifying the products and services that needs replacing, I will loop step 2 and 3 for each product and service. This way I will be introducing only 1 service to my family at a time. I am planning to give them enough time for learning each alternative and understand why they should use it instead. Else, this would get overwhelming very quick.</p>
