+In your privacy advocacy, it's essential to use and recommend tools that *reliably* protect privacy. For this, you need to **investigate and remain highly skeptical** of any dangerous or unproven marketing claims.
 
 Here's how to evaluate privacy claims, and recommend tools that are trustworthy:
 
 ## Why is there so much privacy snake oil?
 
-Regrettably, it's quite common to see businesses using privacy promises only as a marketing strategy to reassure understandingly concerned users. But many aren't genuinely doing the work to make these promises come true.

+When we think about our privacy, we often focus on the technical tools we can use to protect it. While this is an important *component*, it's crucial not to lose sight of how regulations and invasive practices impact us collectively.
 
 Here's what to keep in mind to **expand your perspective on data privacy** beyond individual solutions:
 
 ## The danger of focusing only on individual solutions
 
-While it might feel easier to focus on our own needs, nobody lives in a vacuum. Even if you were able to somehow protect all the data you have custody of, there is a lot of data about you that isn't under your control, and a lot of data about others that can impact you.

-Moreover, it's important to consider others in different situations. For example, even if everyone who has access to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service can stay protected from an issue, what about all the others? It's neither practical nor realistic to expect that *everyone* would be able to circumvent a problem by using a VPN.

It's neither practical nor realistic to expect that *everyone* would be able to circumvent a problem by using a VPN.
 
 While in some cases we might want to discuss immediate individual solutions in order to mitigate some harm, we must also attack the root cause of the problem.
 
-If we only think of individual solutions when a corporation exploits our data, or a government adopts a privacy-invasive regulation, we risk letting our guard down by giving up the fight early. This makes the problem harder to fight later on, and results in more harm to our communities, and eventually to ourselves as well.

Of course, some people will always be willing to use protective technologies even once they're deemed illegal by their governments, but most will not.
