This guide aims to be the most exhaustive resource available for documenting alternatives to Google products. It has become one of the most popular guides on Restore Privacy and is regularly updated with new information. With growing concerns over online privacy and securing personal data, more people than ever are considering alternatives to Google products. After all, Google’s business model essentially revolves around data collection and advertisements, both of which infringe on your privacy. More data means better (targeted) ads and more revenue. The company pulled in over $116 billion in ad revenue last year alone – and that number continues to grow. But the word is getting out. A growing number of people are seeking alternatives to Google products that respect their privacy and data. So let’s get started. Note: The lists below are not necessarily in rank order. Choose the best products and services based on your own unique needs. Google search alternatives When it comes to privacy, using Google search is not a good idea. When you use their search engine, Google is recording your IP address, search terms, user agent, and often a unique identifier, which is stored in cookies. Here are ten alternatives to Google search: Searx – A privacy-friendly and versatile metasearch engine that’s also open source. MetaGer – An open source metasearch engine with good features, based in Germany. SwissCows – A zero-tracking private search engine based in Switzerland, hosted on secure Swiss infrastructure. Qwant – A private search engine based in France. DuckDuckGo – A private search engine based in the US. Mojeek – The only true search engine (rather than metasearch engine) that has its own crawler and index (based in the UK). YaCy – A decentralized, open source, peer-to-peer search engine. Givero – Based in Denmark, Givero offers more privacy than Google and combines search with charitable donations. Ecosia – Ecosia is based in Germany and donates a part of revenues to planting trees. *Note: With the exception of Mojeek, all of the private search engines above are technically metasearch engines, since they source their results from other search engines, such as Bing and Google. See the new and updated best private search engines guide for additional information. ( Startpage is no longer recommended. ) Gmail alternatives Gmail may be convenient and popular, but there are three major problems: Your inbox is used as a data collection tool. (Did you know Google is tracking your purchasing history from the receipts in your inbox? ) Rather than seeing just emails, your email inbox is also used for ads and marketing. The contents of your inbox are being shared with Google and other random third parties. When you remain logged in to your Gmail account, Google can easily track your activities online as you browse different websites, which may be hosting Google Analytics or Google ads (Adsense). Here are ten alternatives to Gmail that do well in terms of privacy: Tutanota – based in Germany; very secure and private; free accounts up to 1 GB Mailfence – based in Belgium; lots of features; free accounts up to 500 MB Posteo – based in Germany; €1/mo with 14 day refund window StartMail – based in Netherlands; $5. 00/mo with 7 day free trial Runbox – based in Norway; lots of storage and features; $1. 66/mo with 30 day free trial – based in Germany; €1/mo with 30 day free trial CounterMail – based in Sweden; $4. 00/mo with 7 day free trial Kolab Now – based in Switzerland; €4. 41/mo with 30 day money-back guarantee ProtonMail – based in Switzerland; free accounts up to 500 MB Thexyz – based in Canada; $1. 95/mo with 30 day refund window More information on these providers is available in the secure and private email services guide. Chrome alternatives Google Chrome is a popular browser, but it’s also a data collection tool – and many people are taking notice. Just a few days ago, the Washington Post asserted that “ Google’s web browser has become spy software, ” with 11, 000 tracker cookies observed in a single week. Here are seven alternatives for more privacy: Firefox browser – Firefox is a very customizable, open-source browser that is popular in privacy circles. There are also many different Firefox modifications and tweaks that will give you more privacy and security. (Also check out Firefox Focus, a privacy-focused version for mobile users. ) Iridium – Based on open source Chromium, Iridium offers numerous privacy and security enhancements over Chrome, source code here. GNU IceCat – A fork of Firefox from the Free Software Foundation. Tor browser – A hardened and secured version of Firefox that runs on the Tor network by default. (It also does a good job against browser fingerprinting. ) Ungoogled Chromium – Just as the name says, this is an open source version of Chromium that has been “ungoogled” and modified for more privacy. Brave – Brave is another Chromium-based browser that is rather popular. It blocks trackers and ads by default (except for “approved” ads that are part of the “Brave Ads” network). Waterfox – This is a fork of Firefox that is configured for more privacy by default, with Mozilla telemetry stripped out of the code. Of course, there are other alternatives to Chrome, such as Safari (from Apple), Microsoft Internet Explorer/Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi – but these also come with some privacy drawbacks. More discussion on this topic can be found in the guide on secure and private browsers. Google Drive alternatives If you’re looking for a secure cloud storage option, you can check out these Google Drive alternatives: Tresorit – A user-friendly cloud storage option based in Switzerland. ownCloud – An open source and self-hosted cloud platform developed in Germany. Nextcloud – Nextcloud is also an open source, self-hosted file sharing and collaboration platform, based in Germany. Sync – Based in Canada, Sync offers a secure, encrypted cloud storage solution for businesses and individuals. Syncthing – Here we have a decentralized, open source, peer-to-peer cloud storage platform. Of course, Dropbox is another popular Google drive alternative, but it’s not the best in terms of privacy. Google Calendar alternative Here are some Google Calendar alternatives: Lightning Calendar is an open source calendar option developed by Mozilla, and it’s compatible with Thunderbird and Seamonkey. Etar, an open source, basic calendar option. Fruux, an open source calendar with good features and support for many operating systems. For those wanting a combined solution for both email and calendar functionality, these providers offer that: Mailfence Kolab Now Tutanota Google Docs / Sheets / Slides alternative There are many solid Google Docs alternatives available. The largest offline document editing suite is, of course, Microsoft Office. As most people know, however, Microsoft is not the best company for privacy. Nonetheless, there are a few other good Google Docs alternatives: CryptPad – CryptPad is a privacy-focused alternative with strong encryption, and it’s free. Etherpad – A self-hosted collaborative online editor that’s also open source. Mailfence Documents – From the Mailfence team, this is a secure file sharing, storage, and collaboration tool. Zoho Docs – This is another good Google Docs alternative with a clean interface and good functionality, although it may not be the best for privacy. OnlyOffice – OnlyOffice feels a bit more restricted than some of the other options in terms of features. Cryptee – This is a privacy-focused platform for photo and document storage and editing. It’s open source and based in Estonia. LibreOffice (offline) – You can use LibreOffice which is free and open source. Apache OpenOffice (offline) – Another good open source office suite. Google Photos alternative Here are a few good Google Photos alternatives: Piwigo – Piwigo is a great option that you can self-host. It is also free and open source. Lychee – Lychee is another self-hosted, open source photo management platform. Cryptee – Mentioned already above, Cyrptee is also a great option for securely storing photos. Shoebox was another alternative, but it closed operations in June 2019. YouTube alternatives Unfortunately, YouTube alternatives can really be hit or miss, with most struggling to gain popularity. Peertube DTube Bitchute Vimeo Dailymotion Hooktube Tip: is a great Youtube proxy that allows you to watch any Youtube video without logging in, even if the video is somehow restricted. To do this, simply replace [ with [] in the URL you want to view. Google translate alternative Here are a few Google translate alternatives I have come across: DeepL – DeepL is a solid Google Translate alternative that seems to give great results. Like Google Translate, DeepL allows you to post up to 5, 000 characters at a time (but the pro version is unlimited). The user interface is good and there is also a built-in dictionary feature. Linguee – Linguee does not allow you to post large blocks of text like DeepL. However, Linguee will give you very accurate translations for single words or phrases, along with context examples. – This Google Translate alternative seems to do a decent job on single-world lookups, but it also feels a bit outdated. Swisscows Translate – A good translation service supporting many languages. If you want to translate blocks of text, check out DeepL. If you want in-depth translations for single words or phrases, then Linguee is a good choice. Google analytics alternative For website admins, there are many reasons to use an alternative to Google analytics. Aside from privacy concerns, there are also faster and more user-friendly alternatives that also respect your visitors’ privacy. Clicky is a great alternative to Google Analytics that truncates and anonymizes visitor IP addresses by default. It is lightweight, user-friendly, and fully compliant with GDPR regulations, while also being certified by Privacy Shield. Matomo (formerly Piwik) is an open-source analytics platform that respects the privacy of visitors by anonymizing and truncating visitor IP addresses (if enabled by the website admin). It is also certified to respect user privacy. Fathom Analytics is an open source alternative to Google Analytics that’s available on Github here. It’s minimal, fast, and lightweight. Get Insights – Another privacy-focused analytics platform, with a full analytics suite. The front-end client is open source and available here. AT Internet is a France-based analytics provider that is fully GDPR compliant, with all data stored on French servers, and a good track record going back to 1996. Many websites host Google Analytics because they run Google Adsense campaigns. Without Google Analytics, tracking performance of these campaigns would be difficult. Nonetheless, there are still better options for privacy. Google Maps alternative A map alternative for PCs is OpenStreetMap. A few Google Maps alternatives for mobile devices include: OsmAnd is a free and open-source mobile maps app for both Android and iOS (based on OpenStreetMap data). Maps (F Droid) uses OpenStreetMap data (offline). is another option that is free on both Android and iOS, but there is a fair amount of data collection with this alternative, as explained in their privacy policy. MapHub is also based on OpenStreeMap data and it does not collect locations or user IP addresses. Note: Waze is not an “alternative” as it is now owned by Google. Google Play Store alternative Currently the best Google Play Store alternative is to use F-Droid and then go through the Yalp store. As explained on the official site, F-Droid is an installable catalog of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. After you have installed F-Droid, you can then download the Yalp store APK, which allows you to download apps from the Google Play Store directly as APK files. The Yalp Store is a good alternative to the Google Play Store. See the F-Droid website or the official GitHub page for more info. Other alternatives to the Google Play Store include: Aptoide – An independent marketplace for Android apps. APKMirror – This is a large library of APK files uploaded by different users (be careful). Aurora Store – A fork of the Yalp Store. Google Chrome OS alternative Want to ditch the Chromebook and Chrome OS? Here are a few alternatives: Linux – Of course, Linux is arguably the best alternative, being a free, open-source operating system with lots of different flavors. With some adjustments, Linux Ubuntu can be run on Chromebooks. Tails – Tails is a free, privacy-focused operating system based on Linux that routes all traffic through the Tor network. QubesOS – Recommended by Snowden, free, and also open source. Of course, the other two big operating system alternatives are Windows and Apple’s operating system for MacBooks – Mac OS. Windows, particularly Windows 10, is a very bad option for privacy. While slightly better, Apple also collects user data and has partnered with the NSA for surveillance. Android alternatives The biggest alternative to Android is iOS from Apple. But we’ll skip over that for reasons already mentioned. Here are a few Android OS alternatives: LineageOS – A free and open-source operating system for phones and tablets based on Android. Ubuntu Touch – A mobile version of the Ubuntu operating system. Plasma Mobile – An open source, Linux-based operating system with active development. Sailfish OS – Another open source, Linux-based mobile OS. Replicant – A fully free Android distribution with an emphasis on freedom, privacy, and security. /e/ – This is another open source project with a focus on privacy and security. Purism is also working on a privacy-focused mobile phone called the Librem 5. It is in production, but not yet available (estimated Q3 2019). Google Hangouts alternatives Here are some alternatives to Google Hangouts: Wire – A great all-around secure messenger, video, and chat app, but somewhat limited on the number of people who can chat together in a group conversation via voice or video. Signal – A good secure messenger platform from Open Whisper Systems. Telegram – A longtime secure messenger app, formerly based in Russia, now in Dubai. Riot – A privacy-focused encrypted chat service that is also open source. Google Domains alternative Google Domains is a domain registration service. Here are a few alternatives: Namecheap – I like Namecheap because all domain purchases now come with free WhoisGuard protection for life, which protects your contact information from third parties. Namecheap also accepts Bitcoin and offers domain registration, hosting, email, SSL certs, and a variety of other products. Njalla – Njalla is a privacy-focused domain registration service based in Nevis. They offer hosting options, too, and also accept cryptocurrency payments. OrangeWebsite – OrangeWebsite offers anonymous domain registration services and also accepts cryptocurrency payments, based in Iceland. Other Google alternatives Here more alternatives for various Google products: Google forms alternative – JotForm is a free online form builder. Google Keep alternative – Below are a few different Google Keep alternatives: Standard Notes is a great alternative for a note-taking service. It is secure, encrypted, and free with apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android (web-based also available). Joplin is another great option that is open source and works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. Zoho Notebook from Zoho, with apps for desktop and mobile devices. QOwnNotes is an open source file editor with Nextcloud integration. Google Fonts alternative – Many websites load Google fonts through Google APIs, but that’s not necessary. One alternative to this is to use Font Squirrel, which has a large selection of both Google and non-Google fonts which are free to download and use. Google Voice alternative – (both free and paid) G Suite alternative – Zoho is probably the best option Google Firebase alternative – Kuzzle (free and open source) Google Blogger alternatives – WordPress, Medium, and Ghost are all good options. Do you care about your privacy? Most people looking for Google alternatives have woken up to the fact that they are paying for free products with their private data. But what about your internet service provider? In the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, internet service providers are also recording your online activity. This information can be legally sold to third parties (in the US), or saved in government databases (UK, US, and Australia). Aside from government surveillance agencies, there are also many private companies tracking your data, in addition to Google, Facebook, and the other usual suspects. To retain a basic level of privacy and security online, you need three tools: 1. Private and secure browser We covered seven Chrome alternatives above, but the secure and private browser guide dives into this issue more. Your browser can reveal lots of private and sensitive data to third parties; be sure to choose carefully. 2. Virtual Private Network (VPN) A VPN will encrypt and anonymize your online activity from third parties, while also hiding your true IP address and location (see the VPN overview here). Simply install the VPN app on your device, connect to a VPN server, then go about your business as normal. This solves the ISP spying problem. A VPN will effectively block your internet provider and third parties from snooping your activity and tracking you by your real IP address. In the best VPN services list, I examine some of the top VPN providers while also looking at a few direct comparisons. 3. Ad blocker Many ads also function as tracking for large advertising networks. A good ad blocker is an important privacy tool that will also improve page load speeds and de-clutter your browser. The privacy tools guide discusses other solutions as well, including password managers, secure messenger services and more. Do you have any other tips or suggestions for Google alternatives? Feel free to drop a comment below. This guide will be regularly updated to reflect the latest information and user feedback.
Eerily similar... Well said he'll go down as one of the greatest Supreme Court justices of all time. Thomas is CORRUPT AND A TRAITOR proof> go see. ASSASSIN FOR THE LORD. GLORY. Very discriminatory! Male dominated society. 😠 Ive experienced it first hand many times. Sucks. He's lying. When I look back on Justice Thomas becoming a Assoc. Judge of the Supreme Court, I feel sad. I feel sad because I was robbed of the truth by democrats, some on the right, but especially black folk who lied on him with total unadulterated, unfounded disrespect. I appreciate that recently and within the past 15 years I have learned about this great black man that should be in the annals of black history with high honor, esteem and proud favor. I was robbed then of truly understanding that most black folk were conservative and always had been since before Frederick Douglas and Booker T. Washington. There is so much I could be sad about looking back in the grave yard of past mistakes and misunderstanding. I do however look forward to my continued growth and watching others wake up to truth, fact and freedom. I, like Justice Thomas said, am a Man first who happens to be black. I am American and love and care for all my American brothers and sisters no matter your race, creed or color. I am a Nationalist for America first. I am proud of my great country in all she has witnessed. I am continually proud that we have the current POTUS we do. I thank God to be American. I am currently overseas and realize even more just how much I am blessed. Thank you Judge Thomas for always standing your ground and being your own man regardless of the gatekeepers, sell outs and fighting the Crab in the Barrel mentality that is so prevalent in the black community.
I believe Anita. Justice Thomas is a good man, and I'm proud to have him serve on our Supreme Court. I would love to meet him one day. Joe Biden presents poorly though. I didn't care for his line of questioning. He really is a political hack. (I hate to say negative things about people in this forum) I need more work. I was too young for this hearing, but seeing it now - it was certainly a disgrace. The man is an American hero.

SAN FRANCISCO — Abu Majad figured that when ISIS came for him, it would be with a knife on a dark street, or a bomb planted on his car. The 34-year-old had been living in southern Turkey since fleeing Syria nearly three years ago and knew that his outspoken stance against ISIS — online and in his hometown in northern Syria — had put him in the terrorist group’s crosshairs. What he wasn’t expecting was to wake up on the morning of March 29 to a virus planted by ISIS within a seemingly innocuous email attachment. “Everything about this looked like a real email, sent from the admin of my own website. It looked safe, but it was not. They were trying to get my login information, my passwords. They were trying to get things that could have put real lives in danger, ” said Abu Majad, who asked that his nickname be used instead of his real name to protect himself and his remaining family in Syria from reprisal attacks by ISIS. “It was very clever. When I saw it I thought to myself, Shit, now they are professional hackers? ” Cybersecurity experts and intelligence agencies who monitor ISIS say the malware is just one more sign that ISIS is growing more sophisticated in its use of the internet. "When I saw it I thought to myself, Shit, now they are professional hackers? " “I don’t think it is far-fetched to say that the internet is a major reason why ISIS is so successful, and so worrying, as far as global terror movements go, ” said one U. S. intelligence officer, who spoke to BuzzFeed News in Washington, D. C., and asked not to be named as he wasn’t authorized to speak to the press. “They have always been ‘good’ at the internet, at the strategy of how they use it. Now they are smarter at the internet too. ” Many of the world’s major intelligence agencies are trying to figure out just how ISIS uses the internet. As the jihadi group continues to attract supporters around the globe, the need for them to safely communicate online has grown. While the vast majority of the group’s fighters in Iraq and Syria are probably not using the internet for much more than sending photos to their family WhatsApp groups, U. intelligence believe a small unit within ISIS is leading the group’s cyber ambitions, which range from working with hackers to launch cyberattacks against their enemies, to publishing manuals that help their supporters mask their online communications and defend themselves from those hunting them. What Abu Majad found that March morning was an email that looked like it came from his own website, asking him to log in and verify his details. Within the email was something known as a “dropper” — malware that is used to plant other software onto a computer without the user’s knowledge. “They would have had access to everything if I had opened that link, ” said Abu Majad, who has sensitive information on his computer about other activists who, like him, try to oppose ISIS rule in Syria by smuggling out photos and videos that document the difficulty of civilian life under ISIS rule. Abu Majad insists he did not click the link, but he also declined to explain how he knew it was malware. “I was used to seeing ISIS fighters in cafes who barely know how to sign on and check their email. I was not expecting them to be this sophisticated. ” Dlshad Othman is a cybersecurity engineer with the ISC Project, which provides information security assistance to civil liberties groups, and also studies ISIS. He said he had recently seen malware used in attacks on Syrian and Kurdish journalists and sites that try to fight against ISIS propaganda online. “ISIS has been targeting sites that are outspoken against ISIS, ” Othman said, giving as an example the group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, an activist group that tries to disseminate real information from within Raqqa, capital of ISIS’s self-declared caliphate. “They targeted people who are trying to reveal what ISIS is really doing in Syria, which they see as a threat to their recruitment and propaganda. ” He showed BuzzFeed one of the emails he was analyzing, which also contained malware. Othman traced the email back to IP addresses in Turkey and Qatar, another indication, he said, that ISIS was getting help from its network outside of Iraq and Syria to carry out cyber attacks. “Malware, phishing campaigns, DDoS attacks are all things I have seen, ” he said. “Now, these dropper attacks are new and are more sophisticated. What we see is the group growing and evolving their capabilities. What we are seeing is worrying. ” Here’s an example of a conversation on a private ISIS channel on the messaging app Telegram on a recent Sunday afternoon: “brother r u use VPN for site? ” “no brother, that is shit. use tor. ” “tor is creation of CIA. avoid tor. ” “so use vpn? ” “lol, no there is something else” These sorts of exchanges appear daily on Telegram, a Berlin-based messaging app that was founded by Nikolai and Pavel Durov, the founders of Russia’s largest social network, VK. In the fall of 2015, use of Telegram spiked among ISIS supporters, as Pavel Durov told a September 2015 panel at TechCrunch that “privacy, ultimately, and our right for privacy is more important than our fear of bad things happening, like terrorism, ” a statement some saw as his announcing that Telegram would not kick ISIS channels off their platform. While dozens of channels have been kicked off in the months since, ISIS supporters still appear to operate more freely on Telegram than they do on other apps. Among the beheading videos, Quranic verses, and general thoughts on the group’s self-declared caliphate is an endless barrage of advice on how to use the internet. Guides in French, Spanish, German, English, Arabic, and Turkish have made the rounds offering step-by-step instructions on how to minimize an electronic footprint by hiding a user’s location and personally identifiable information. The advice is meant to keep ISIS supporters safe, but for most it’s a confusing labyrinth of conflicting opinions. Like many ISIS supporters, also known as fanboys, a man who goes by the nickname Abu Jihad online jumps between a number of networks where ISIS news is broadcast, discussed, and shared. His current staples are Telegram and Twitter, though Twitter, he says, has become less and less ISIS-friendly as they have become more proactive about shutting down accounts associated with ISIS. He has, at various times, used WhatsApp and Kik, but has since discarded those messaging programs as being “not secure enough. ” He also dropped Zello, an app that allows groups to send participants/members short audio messages, similar to a walkie-talkie, when he found it too crowded with ISIS supporters reading verses of the Qur'an. He’s heard of a new app called Alwari, allegedly created by ISIS supporters, but says he can’t figure out where to download it. “To be anonymous online is the most important thing so that we can safely help the jihad when the time comes, ” Abu Jihad wrote BuzzFeed News in a private message on Telegram. He refused to give his real name or location. “The kuffars make it as hard as possible, but we always find a way to succeed, ” he said, using a derogatory term for non-Muslims. “There are rumours that our forums are infected, ” said Abu Jihad. “But it is impossible for us to stay off of the internet. ” How to connect to other ISIS supporters is a near-obsession for Abu Jihad, who likely lives in a Western country given his English-language skills and waking hours. Like many others who chose the nom de guerre, which translates as “father of holy war, ” or “father of the struggle, ” he has never seen battle and currently only admires ISIS from the safety of his computer screen. At least once a week, Abu Jihad thinks he has spotted a CIA agent in the Telegram channels that he monitors. “The internet is full of American and Israeli spies, ” Abu Jihad wrote BuzzFeed in a private message, before asking for more details on where BuzzFeed News is based and whether it had a political agenda. “It’s well-known that most journalists are spies. ” U. intelligence agencies hint that they are active in ISIS channels. During an interview with BuzzFeed News on recent efforts by Twitter to kick thousands of ISIS-linked accounts off their site, one official in the Department of Defense joked, “It’s just a shame they also got so many of our honey traps in that web. ” “Wherever ISIS is chatting, we try to have a presence, ” said the official, who spoke on condition he not be named, as he wasn’t authorized to speak to press. But according to cybersecurity experts, the U. is doing more than just watching those channels. Speaking to reporters last month Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Work said, “Right now it sucks to be ISIL. ” "We are dropping cyber bombs. We have never done that before, " he told reporters. "Just like we have an air campaign, I want to have a cyber campaign. I want to use all the space capabilities I have. ” The comment was seen as a reference to malware that U. intelligence agencies would try to plant in ISIS forums that, if installed by ISIS followers, could track or even hijack a computer. In California this week, U. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told reporters: “We will blackout, fool, and disrupt ISIL networks until we destroy them. ” “There are rumours that our forums are infected, ” said Abu Jihad. ” Last month, Dar Al-Islam, an online magazine published by ISIS in French, released its ninth issue with a 16-page special section dedicated to online security, offering detailed instructions on using a number of programs to safely access ISIS channels and communicate with other ISIS supporters. It is hardly the group’s first guide to using the internet. But while previous instructions have been little more than translations of existing internet safety guides, the issue showed the group’s evolving understanding of online security. Whereas in the past they would simply mention the name of a program, and copy-paste a description, the French manual, and similar versions published on ISIS online forums, have detailed instructions on how to layer different programs, such as using a VPN to help hide location, while also sending encrypted emails that mask the content of a message. The Dar al-Islam issue touts Tails, an operating system popular among privacy advocates and made famous by Edward Snowden, as the preferred means of safely going online. Tor, another favorite for its ability to anonymize traffic by passing it through a number of randomly selected servers and encrypting traffic, was bashed in the magazine, which warned that “spies” were likely working within Tor to intercept traffic. (The assessment was unsurprising considering a recent admission by Matt Edman, a former developer for Tor, that he helped the FBI create malware to unmask users of the software. ) Encryption, ranging from programs like Telegram and WhatsApp that have encryption built in to a description of how to use PGP to encrypt emails, features heavily in the magazine. A security expert who is only known online as “the grugq, ” but whose blogs and tweets are widely read by cybersecurity experts, closely follows how ISIS communicates online. After reviewing the magazine, he told BuzzFeed News that he believed ISIS only had a limited understanding of how encryption works. “The author believes encryption is a solution to every problem, ” the grugq said in an email to BuzzFeed News, noting that it eschewed other techniques, such as teaching users how to be anonymous online by never revealing or entering into public forms personal details such as real names, birth dates, or countries of origin. “The author is not clear on the real threats that jihadis actually face. The faith in crypto as a panacea to all the dangers faced by online jihadis demonstrates the shallowness of the author’s security understanding. ” He said he believed their knowledge was “superficial and based, as usual, on privacy manuals. ” “The main takeaway from this guide is that the author believes so strongly in encryption they think it will solve everything. It is the ignorant belief that 'going dark' is as simple as downloading TAILS. In the real world, nation state adversaries are not deterred by a little bit of crypto sprinkled here and there like OPSEC fairy dust, ” he said. Thomas Rid, a professor in the department of war studies at King's College London and author of Rise of the Machines, a book that explores why people fear digital surveillance, said he was impressed with the level of detail in the manual, though he questioned the conclusions they drew about certain programs. For instance, the group distrusts TOR, an anonymizing network that sends users through a number of randomly selected servers to help hide their identity. Despite TOR’s popularity with activists around the world, ISIS distrusts it, due to reports that it had been breached, as well as suspicions that the CIA or NSA might be secretly controlling part of the network to spy on its users. “Generally the technical detail provided is impressive — not error-free, but remarkable for what after all is a general interest magazine for jihadis, ” Rid wrote to BuzzFeed News in an email. But while some within the Department of Justice and FBI have touted the idea that encryption is dangerous, U. intelligence officials from the Department of Defense and military who study ISIS think that even if advice on encryption is inundating the ISIS forums, few are using it and fewer still are likely using it correctly. One military officer said that despite fears of some security officials over militant groups “going dark” by using encryption and hiding their activities online, the process of sending an encrypted email was complicated and prone to errors. “Even people who use these programs every day occasionally make mistakes. The processes described by ISIS are not intuitive. The more they use these programs the greater the chance someone slips up and uses them incorrectly and exposes themselves, ” one U. military intelligence official told BuzzFeed News during a briefing in D. C. He spoke to BuzzFeed on the condition that he not be named as he wasn’t authorized to speak to press. “In a way, it’s best for us when they increase their presence online as much as possible. The more they do online the more of a digital footprint we have to follow. ” Had ISIS only chatted more online prior to the attacks in Paris and Brussels, he added, intelligence agencies might have known enough to stop them. The attacks on Paris and Brussels ignited a global debate on encryption and terror. On the one hand are certain intelligence agencies and governments, who say they missed signs of the attacks because ISIS was using the “dark web” to communicate, sending encrypted messages that intel agencies couldn’t crack. On the other hand are cybersecurity activists and experts, who say there is little evidence that sophisticated techniques were used by the attackers to mask their communication. (Quite the opposite, they argue: The attackers lived in the same apartment and used the old-school method of multiple burner phones. ) And then there is the media, whose coverage of the issue has received intense scrutiny, with reports of ISIS sending encrypted emails scrubbed from the web just days after their publication, and unnamed sources giving conflicting evidence of how the attackers communicated. Last month, Le Monde and the New York Times published articles based on French intelligence documents that recount the case of 29-year-old Reda Hame, a Parisian IT specialist who traveled to Syria to join ISIS but was instead put through a rapid training course and sent back to France to carry out an attack. The articles described how Hame, who was arrested last August by French police, provided details of his training, including how he was instructed to use TruCrypt, an encryption application, and how, before returning to France, he was given a USB drive containing the program. The reports appeared to hold the first time that a Western intelligence agency confirmed encryption being used by an ISIS operative. But as cybersecurity experts began looking over the details Hame provided, questions emerged over whether the method described in the article would really work, as it would require an entire disk to be encrypted and then uploaded — leaving behind a large digital footprint and room for human error each time it is uploaded. A subsequent story in the New York Times about the Paris attacks also left cybersecurity experts confused when a key paragraph read: “According to the police report and interviews with officials, none of the attackers’ emails or other electronic communications have been found, prompting the authorities to conclude that the group used encryption. What kind of encryption remains unknown. ” The problem, the cybersecurity experts pointed out, was that encryption leaves traces of itself everywhere. When an encrypted email is sent, it still appears in inboxes and sent folders, it is just that the text is garbled. Unless you have a key to unlock that text, (or the technology that some intelligence agencies, including the U. S., have to break encrypted emails), all you can see is the garbled gibberish. Had the Paris attackers been sending encrypted emails to their handlers in Iraq and Syria, the garbled messages should have still been there. Because neither French nor Belgian investigators have released their findings on the attacks to the public, it’s impossible to say what evidence they might have into how the attacks were planed. Until they do, cybersecurity experts such as the grugq, who keeps a running list of various ISIS-linked attacks and whether or not reports have confirmed the use of encrypted communications to plan and carry out the attacks, continue to try to find clues in what is leaked to the press. Google recently said that more than 50, 000 people search for the phrase “join ISIS” every month. Jordanian officials say that in an average week, more than 100 Jordanians Google the phrase. The top results in Arabic offer step-by-step instructions as detailed as when to pack a bag and what to tell your parents, according to one Jordanian intelligence official. “What makes ISIS so dangerous is that if you were trying to join the organization tomorrow, and weren’t sure where to start, Google would have most of your answers, ” said the official, who spoke to BuzzFeed News by phone on condition that his name not be used as ISIS has threatened to assassinate officials like him in Jordan. “Even if I shut down every mosque, every person who supported ISIS in Jordan, there would still be YouTube videos recruiting young men with gun fights that look like they came out of a Hollywood movie. There would still be Twitter where men tweet about how they are living in paradise with three wives and a house, and there would still be WhatsApp and Telegram and every other network for them to communicate personally with whoever they want. ” The intelligence officer said that if an online platform exists, ISIS has figured out how to exploit it. “At the end of last year, we were approached by a family living near Zarqa who believed their daughter was speaking to dangerous people online, ” said the officer, naming Jordan’s second-largest city. “I told them, 'Close her Twitter and Telegram, ' but they said, ‘No, it’s the dating site she is on. ’” Through an Arabic-language dating site for devout Muslims, their daughter had been approached by a young man claiming to live in the Syrian city of Raqqa. He was was trying to lure her there. “He told her about the big house she would have and the servants. Her husband would be a handsome fighter … he even sent her photos of the beautiful jewelry he would buy her for her wedding night, ” the intelligence officer said. He said the young woman was stopped before she could reach Syria, but refused to say whether Jordanian police had imprisoned her. “Her case just shows you that even on dating sites ISIS is recruiting. ”.
Tveit is enjolras of les miserables. Religion and relationship with Christ, two different things... Dont you fail to have a relationship with God (through Christ) because of the wrangles within the four walls of the church... You have no excuse. And if that is not your thing, hey, it's still fine. There's something called free will. Just keep on keeping on. No need to bring other people down because you don't agree with their beliefs...
