The Switching Social Handbook

The Switching Social Handbook is all about privacy-friendly alternative social networks, apps, sites and services that are easy-to-use and suitable for non-technical people. It explores the main threats to our privacy, and details ethical alternatives that anyone can use. You may not have heard of some of these community-run social networks before, but millions of people have already switched to them and they're growing fast. This book helps you to understand how they work, why they are something we should be joining and how to join them. The Handbook keeps jargon to a minimum, and includes a glossary at the back so you can translate technobabble into plain English.
