Digital Freedom is the practical ability to control your own devices, data, communications, and online identity. Default technology is built for surveillance and dependency. This archive is the public record of how that pressure shows up.

They are analysis, not a hardening checklist. Implementation, verification, and threat-model matching are found in The Arsenal.
