  Reminder that none of your data is safe on a cloud. Law enforcement can get a judge to sign off and make Google/Apple decrypt your cloud data and give it to them.

  If you really want your data private you have to put it on an encrypted hard drive. Recommend Veracrypt.

    It depends on which cloud. US cloud services are inherently unsafe. Some other countries have more respect for privacy.

    Recommend Veracrypt.

    Or Luks which is well integrated with Linux. Are there significant advantages with Veracrypt?

    and even then, unless you unlock it for law enforcements upon request. you will serve lifetime in imprisonment or until you agree to unlock it and whatever if any crime is within the locker to continue imprisonment. so safeguarding data really doesn’t matter in the end anyway because any sensitive data kept anywhere will be used against you either by the law or by criminals. which often times seems to be one and the same.

      Clearly you are not a lawyer, not educated in law, nor do you know a single thing regarding what you are talking about, yet you felt compelled to leave a comment full of complete disinformation. Is letting people on the internet know how dumb you are a family tradition, or is this something new you are trying out for yourself?

        it’s amazing you think not unlocking your shit will get you out of jail.

        or maybe you just come from a country where law and logic is just optional.

      I’m like 99% sure that isn’t how that works. Held in contempt of court, maybe, but lifetime imprisonment, doubt it.

      Can you provide any statute or reporting to indicate a person can be jailed indefinitely over not unlocking a device?

  Snowden was pre-lockdown mode but yeah.
