Avast got fined $16.5 million by the FTC

Today I talk about how Avast got fined 16.5 million dollars by the FTC for their subsidiary Jumpshot, where they silently collected and sold user data without their users' consent. I highly urge you to spread the word, and don't trust them to be your antivirus provider. Thanks for watching!

Wow 16.5 million, what is that like 0.0001% of the money they made but doing this.

Windows defender
And bitwarden.
Bitwarden is open source and self-hostable
Also make sure to set a primary password for Firefox since that encrypts your data e2ee
