    Yeah, with the Vault 7 releases and recent leaks showing NSA follows homeless people’s connections (who tend to hang out at libraries due to a lack of 3rd spaces), I don’t doubt there’s specific tracking, malware and other unwanted software at libraries. I don’t have any sources of this, but it wouldn’t surprise me

  I trust the library a lot more than I trust Staples or a similar for-profit business.

  I kind of doubt it. Local libraries have a hard time staying open due to funding.

    And they have a hard time caring about your data because they can’t do anything with it anyway.
