DeGoogle Like PewDiePie: A Beginner-Friendly Privacy Checklist for 2025

Punch Up Your Life

Get punched right where you want it! (In your inbox.)

​

This is an infrequently sent, no-spam, random-topic, left-leaning newsletter.

So you watched PewDiePie talk about de-Googling his life—and now you’re wondering what to do next.

Welcome! You’ve already taken the first step: noticing something’s not quite right with how much data Google (and its Big Tech friends) collect about you.

This page is your starter guide for what comes next, because we think escaping surveillance's leash shouldn't require a tech degree (or an off-grid cabin).

​

WHY DEGOOGLE?

Google knows more about you than your friends, doctor, or partner—even more than your dog. And it’s not just about ads: Google’s systems power law enforcement, location tracking, medical data scraping, and more.
 

That's why we built a checklist for you called Google-Free in 5 Weeks. It wasn’t inspired by the PewDiePie video—it existed already—but we created this page because you might be ready now.

 

The checklist is:

​

  • Free

  • Non-technical

  • Full of links to further instructions and helpful tools

  • Dog-themed


 GET THE FREE CHECKLIST NOW (No login, no tracking!)

​

STILL CIRCLING? THAT'S OK!

If you're not sure about switching phones or deleting Google completely just yet—no problem. Start small:

​

  • Use DuckDuckGo instead of Google Search for one week

  • Turn off location tracking in your phone settings

  • Read a blog post or two from our library


Every little step helps you sniff out what feels right.

​

If this page helped you, it might help someone else who just saw PewDiePie's video and thought: "I'm not that techie...how can I get started?"
