Hello! what is the best setup for creating content without compromising my privacy? i am aware of most opsec stuff but i have some questions:

  • how do i use 2FA without giving YouTube my phone number?
  • how big of an identifier is my voice? should i use a voice filter?

thanks.

    YouTube is Google. Asking how to use Google without losing your privacy is asking how to swim without getting wet.

    Use PeerTube. You’re asking this question on Lemmy, so surely you’re comfortable with the whole Fediverse thing.

      asking how to swim without getting wet

      Wetsuit? Though, I don’t think that covers the head. Full on diving gear?

      And now I wonder if you can swim in dry water.

    1. Purchase spare chromebook (with cash)
    2. Purchase spare SIM (cash)
    3. Get TOTP working with spare SIM, link FOSS authenticator app, delink phone number.
    4. Throw away SIM.
    5. Get a flash drive, wipe, load videos on it.
    6. Go to public location, sign into Google account from there, upload video.
    7. Remove battery from Chrome book after uploading video, only ever plug it into power in the proximity of WiFi hotspots which can’t be traced to you.
    8. Preferably don’t bring your phone with you since they can track you through that

          Walking then. I do not have any solutions against facial recognition like mass surveillance other than randomising your patterns

            Put some pebbles in your shoes to make your walking pattern on video seem different from your normal walk.

              I suppose you could do that. Maybe putting an extra layer in one shoe will help with a limping posture if you’re willing to go that far, but nothing is foolproof against AI

        Use public transport, wear baggy thrift store clothes, preferably masks on. Will fool everything but the sophisticated (and expensive) AI systems. Won’t work if you’re in the UK or China because their governments are insane

    What is the goal?

    Delete all your cookies. Don’t use 2FA. Use a private browser. Use a VPN. Make a new account. Upload away. That’s about all you can do.

    you can use something like smspool.net to verify the account with a one time use #. then google will allow you to link an authenticator app to the account. removing the # from the account afterwards does not remove the TOTP code either.
