i’d like to point out that it shouldn’t be on women (or anyone) to be on constant guard against attacks on their privacy.

yes, it is the state of the world, but the attitude of your comment is victim blaming.

let’s not forget that while we on Lemmy may be aware of the danger of mass surveillance tech, we’re not the majority.

snowden told us years ago how fucked everything is, and surveillance has only grown since then. let’s not forget that it is not normal that corpo data-mining is the norm (along with included de-facto warrantless surveillance). Even though we all should be better, nobody should have to be as careful as we are.

hell, let’s be real. As long as we use a smartphone, we’re not being careful enough either.
