About Techlore
Techlore is led by Henry Fisher. Over a decade helping people take back control of their digital lives, without making it a second job.
They didn't take your choice. They made sure you never had one.
Everyone's got a snoop. For some of you it's an advertiser. For some it's your internet provider. For some it's a government. For some it's someone who's decided your phone is their business.
An ad that knew too much. Your car quietly raising your insurance. A stranger who knows where you'll be. None of it felt like a choice, because it wasn't.
Meet Henry Fisher
I went to the deep end so you don't have to.
I used to be all-in on big tech: Google everything, Snapchat with friends, never once thinking about my relationship with technology. Then over 10 years ago, I started learning how the surveillance economy worked: the data harvesting, the recklessness of the companies and governments holding my life in their hands. So I set out to take it back, and I documented every step on Techlore as I went.
I went all the way. I cut down to under 30 digital accounts, moved to a nearly 100% open-source stack, and even gave up my phone entirely. But the extreme came at a real cost to convenience, to relationships, and isn't practical for most people. Having lived on both ends of the spectrum, I learned what's worth doing and what isn't. That's what I do now: put you back in the driver's seat of your digital life—without turning it into a second job. That's Techlore: videos, podcasts, courses, and free tools, plus a weekly newsletter that keeps you ahead of the threats.
