Sometimes I think, I have learned a lot about this issue and I’m well aware of the fact the whole world is going towards a state of surveillance that no one can escape, I have done everything I could to ensure my personal privacy, but what about others?
the majority of the world population does not even care about this matter, and they might even see it as a normality, the people might even know that they are being watched/listened to/surveilled, and they don’t do anything to prevent it neither individually or collectively.
I also believe that protecting the individual privacy automatically contributes to the collective privacy and vice-versa, but seeing how the world is heading towards extreme surveillance that is practically impossible to resist (eg… face recognition, chat control law), I ask, what is the point of all of this? how can i live peacfully knowing that i can be suspected of anything just because i made a joke here or said something there?
and I’m not talking 100% privacy or anonymity, i’m just talking peace of mind and well-being.
We should be able to have privacy without labouring at it.
We shouldn’t be excluded from normal society by being private. e.g. I should be able to.hire a plumber without using Meta software.
To add to it, we’re also only as secure as the person we’re messaging. I’m cutting off everyone who doesn’t value security and private communications without surveillance.
I’m cutting people out of my life that don’t take privacy and digital security seriously. They’ll expose me when I try talking to them.
