Top 10 Python privacy-protection Projects

  • fawkes

    Fawkes, privacy preserving tool against facial recognition systems. More info at https://sandlab.cs.uchicago.edu/fawkes

    Project mention: Voice-changer apps designed to mitigate the threat of AI? | reddit.com/r/privacy | 2023-05-21

    There is a great tool called Fawkes that allows you to modify pictures of your face in a visually undetectable way, enough to thwart AI algorithms and mitigate the risk of your face being used for fraudulent purposes. Well, I'm looking for a tool of the same kind that does the same thing with your voice, in real-time, during calls, using a separate app from the one doing the calls. I know there are plenty of voice-changer apps, but Fawkes was created because simply modifying an image using simple tools is not enough, and the same applies to the vast array of voice-changer apps available. I'm looking for one that is specifically designed to combat AI, as with Fawkes, and doesn't change your voice in any way that a human can detect. I'm not looking for a tool that anonimizes my voice from other people, but from AI. Does such an app exist? Context: The AI Dilemma, Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin, Center for Humane Technology (YT)

  • presidio

    Context aware, pluggable and customizable data protection and de-identification SDK for text and images

    Project mention: Handling PII data in Azure | reddit.com/r/AZURE | 2023-01-05

    Depending on your use case, you may want to check out Presidio as well. It’s a Microsoft product for PII scrubbing. Perfect for ADF and Synapse pipelines.

  • ONLYOFFICE

    ONLYOFFICE Docs — document collaboration in your environment. Powerful document editing and collaboration in your app or environment. Ultimate security, API and 30+ ready connectors, SaaS or on-premises

  • hosts

    Hostfile blocklist for ads and tracking, updated regularly (by lightswitch05)

    Project mention: Is it okay to use pi-hole if I don’t know what the hell I’m doing? | reddit.com/r/pihole | 2023-04-15

    This is how you learn. Going forward you'll start noticing some ads and some not, based on the default adlist. I think the default adlist is good enough for starting. But you should also look into developer dan's adlist and ticked firebog adlist.

  • Digital-Forensics-Guide

    Digital Forensics Guide. Learn all about Digital Forensics, Computer Forensics, Mobile device Forensics, Network Forensics, and Database Forensics.

    Project mention: Digital Forensics Guide | reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering | 2022-10-17

  • Shreddit

    Remove your comment history on Reddit as deleting an account does not do so.

    Project mention: Update 2: Reddit's proposed API changes, and the continued existence of RedReader | reddit.com/r/RedReader | 2023-04-29

    Some may consider this to be anti-social behaviour, especially because of the trick of adding "reddit" to Google searches because of the enshitification of Google. Personally I don't care, it's still my content, so I'm using https://github.com/x89/Shreddit but note there is a patch needed https://github.com/x89/Shreddit/pull/142/files

  • Social-Amnesia

    Forget the past. Social Amnesia makes sure your social media accounts only show your posts from recent history, not from "that phase" 5 years ago.

    Project mention: Best Simple Security Practices for Protecting Self and Tendies - Final Repost for Visibility! | reddit.com/r/Superstonk | 2023-01-19

    - Visit [r / NukeRedditHistory] for a lovely little extension that will replace old comments/posts and then delete them (this is no longer available as a browser extension. Please check alternativeto.net for FOSS alternatives). Here are a few replacements that I will try over the next few weeks and update: Shreddit, PowerDeleteSuite, and Social-Amnesia. Not only should you do this currently every now and then, but especially post squeeze! I use this often.

  • picosnitch
