Ask HN: Would you pay for a service that actively protects privacy?

  • We‘re way down this road, albeit with a different set of services, which you can find at safing.io

    The biggest challenge we continue to face is how to make the value of privacy visible, as the privacy protection itself cannot be really seen by users.

  • I feel like handing your privacy to a single source is a big risk in itself. What about when the “privacy co” gets breached?
