Type: Public Awareness & Education Project
Operated by: Silent Edge LLC
Overview
CloudPirat is an independent privacy-education project operated by Silent Edge LLC.
It helps individuals, journalists, educators, and small organizations understand and protect their digital live in an increasingly monitored online environment.
Through articles, courses, and campaigns, CloudPirat transforms Silent Edge’s core principles — privacy, resilience, and legal distance — into accessible knowledge for everyone who wants to take digital security into their own hands.
Purpose
Most people underestimate how much their digital footprint reveals — until it’s too late.
CloudPirat addresses this gap through education and empowerment:
by explaining what personal data discloses, how surveillance systems operate, and how individuals can regain control with digital self-defense.
Its mission is simple:
Knowledge brings freedom — awareness builds resilience.
Core Components
- The Self-Defense BaseCamp
A free, structured introduction to privacy protection and IT security.
Participants learn to recognize risks, use open-source tools, and strengthen their digital habits. - The CloudPirat Blog
Guides and deep-dives on privacy-friendly tools, digital freedom, and the social impact of surveillance — from GrapheneOS setups to Passkey authentication and privacy-first Android configurations. - Campaigns & Public Awareness
Independent initiatives highlighting the consequences of regulatory trends such as the EU Chat Control and Digital Services Act (DSA) on personal freedom and online autonomy.
Why It Matters
Digital freedom is not guaranteed — it must be maintained.
By translating complex security topics into practical knowledge, CloudPirat helps citizens, educators, and small organizations make informed choices about the systems they use and the data they share.
It represents the public, civic layer of Silent Edge:
where strategic privacy design becomes collective digital self-defense.
Support & Operation
The project is fully funded and operated by Silent Edge LLC as part of its commitment to non-commercial privacy education.
CloudPirat’s materials, toolbox, and courses are available free of charge, promoting independent learning and community exchange.
