Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was.

  I’ve tried helping some spicy leftist groups and I’m still floored by how little the groups of people care who should absolutely know better. They will talk a big game but when it actually comes to implementation everyone immediately goes all “nothing to hide” like their years of constant guillotine reacts and memes won’t be pulled out in court the second they try to argue entrapment against some bullshit ci/undercover op.

  I don’t think many people realize how aggressive a digital search warrant can get if you or someone dumber than you fucks around and finds that main character energy. At the end of the day you gotta absolutely minimize the amount of data that’s retained long term on systems.

    Yep it’s frustrating. The convenience argument doesn’t hold true anymore either. There was once a time where encrypted messaging services and self-hosted solutions were much trickier to on-board. That’s not the case anymore and even with the ability to just download and launch some software that does all this for you people still choose oppressive and unsafe technologies / providers.
