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.

    Honestly, maybe I got some charisma or something because I got my friends to take some first steps by using Brave and Bitwarden. Got a couple of them on Signal as well

      Why brave? Bitwarden is fine? Brave will be just choosing lesser evil. I mean sure it’s progress from chrome, but not by much.
