infosec specialists are needed in the resistance

The world needs tech security specialists to run workshops at public libraries for all ages & abilities to remove spyware, AI, reduce surveillance, understand the issues, & for more advanced, move to Linux, degooglefy, etc.

Libraries will pay good wages for these workshops.
If you have these skills, please consider offering them.

For someone who has a more than casual level of knowledge and experience in these areas , but perhaps not expert level, are there any suitable bodies of curriculae to be recommended which one might use to build such a course for a small town library?

I mean I'm confident I'd be able to whip up a suitable series of overviews for the layperson, but I suspect this may already have been done by someone out there?

I really don’t know if there is anything existing but I bet between other infosec people here they have posted a lot already, and you could crowd source one and build on it.

I think it’s about starting w small steps along with explaining what A does, & why you should switch to B, then showing everyone how to do it with them. Then another part can be about something else.

Like manage your settings for privacy for various common OS would be a good start. What everything does.

We do need to get expert advice in this, bc some people will be at greater risk than others.
