Who I Am

I'm Steve Thomas-Patel—a writer, technologist, and advocate for privacy, security, and digital autonomy.
This blog exists to help you break free from Big Tech’s grasp, reclaim your data, and navigate the web on your own terms.

We are living in an era of mass surveillance, AI-driven manipulation, and corporate overreach.
Governments and tech monopolies track every move, harvesting personal data to control, influence, and profit.
But you are not powerless. This blog provides the knowledge and tools to take back control.
