Not a pro but I'd like to point how that privsec is part of the PrivacyGuides/GrapheneOS mob. I don't want to put them down in any way but that group causes a lot of drama. They are Tommy_Tran/B0risGrishenko and moderator of r/PrivacyGuides.

Accusations have been made about them and by them regarding other privacy advocates. None of that has anything to do with the quality of the post, but all sides of that drama seem to be very stubborn and immature when it comes to criticism which is a red flag in my book and takes all credibility away from them and suggestion they would make.

Are you TAJ? The only people who refer to me as B0risGrishenko (my old Reddit account for a few months) are either TAJ or the crazy people on r/privatelife who have no idea what they are talking about.

Quite frankly, anyone looking at that subreddit will know that it's just a bunch of incompetent and incoherent rambling from a few guys with quite literally no technical understanding. They been doing this for years now, spreading terrible privacy and security advice and spearing developers with these cheap shots when they cannot argue on the technical front.

PrivSec is not a part of either PrivacyGuides or GrapheneOS. I am currently a moderator on GrapheneOS, and have not been associated with PrivacyGuides for almost a year now.
