Have you guys also noticed this? I’m not talking about “Oh my family isn’t privacy conscious” I honestly get that for ur average moms and pops, they don’t know any better.
the problem is with how these big tech companies effectively poisoned the everyday Joe to think that handing over ur data like a good boy is the norm and breaking out is “weird” and “too much”, this blame also goes on Hollywood.
Yesterday my friend called me " Mr robot" for just taking my privacy seriously I thought it was funny.
some people also fired their single neuron and told me “People only do this when they have something to hide”
These remarks that I face from time to time really highlights the mentality of the general society where if you break out of the norm, even if it doesn’t harm them, they would find a way to make off handed remarks about it almost like they’re dissatisfied that you’re fighting.
Yeah i see that.
im fine if the gov knowing i went to that protest. Im proud to attach my face to it. However comms over sms becomes an issue when we decide to go to an illegal protest, which will become more and more of an issue over the next decade, at least in my country.
So by establishing the general rule of secure communications for political activism, i hopefully avoid a friend making the blunder of sending a photo/talking about a protest that was explicitely said to be illegal and punishable by a fine or worse.
