    We live in a surveillance state, where was this attitude when corporate America and the government uses every device we own to surveille us? If you’re fine with the most powerful recording you, why do you care if the least powerful do? The only line that can’t be crossed is when we surveille each other? Or maybe if it’s not obvious you’re cool with it? Y’all deserve the incoming re enslavement you been supporting all these decades.

      You know how to stop that? Turn “location” off on your phone. Instead of taking that simple step, you’ll bitch and moan about corporations controlling you when in reality, you enjoy using their services,

      Take some personal responsibility for once.

        It is off, along with strict permissions access for all my apps. Location permissions doesn’t stop surveillance through the variety of other means though.

      If you are conservative. That means being ineffectual and whine alot but do nothing.

      If these people had any intention at all to act to mitigate the situation their comments would look quite different:

      Don’t want to bleed metadata so please switch the conversation in the future over to Simplex, not Matrix/Element and definitely not Signal. And if you suggest WhatsApp i’m never speaking to you again. To prevent censorship prefer a forum where the comments have a non-zero barrier to entry thus adding a real cost to spam or gestapo activities. And to avoid being taxed into extinction i ask clients to pay in Monero. You can see exchange methods off kycme.not

      Instead we are subjected to paranoia commentary that always lacks any discussion of privacy knowhow. How to actual mitigate risks based on your risk profile. It’s so fucking obnoxious why do we have to take this nonsense seriously like it’ll ever lead anywhere except in a circle.

      Professing to be conservative is as close to being nonexistent that i’m surprised to find out not talking with a Buddhist.

      conservatives pfft that’s not even a thing. In the US, they don’t even have their own party. There is the MIC party and the good intention that end in grift party. Which is like MIC with benefits. Doing nothing but whining and calling it right is nonsense as we learned post-2009 as they keep the same narrative and didn’t adapt to changed realities. It was their Biden moment where all doubt was removed and became obvious to all they are completely full of shit.

      Btw have consistently and publically voted for bitcoin since 2014. Not cuz price up price down cuz math. I use the term bitcoin so those not in the know recognize the term, i actually mean Monero.

      One is easy and one is hard, duh. If you want this nerd to stop recording you you smash his dumb facebook glasses. If you want the us government to stop surveillance of you through shit like whatever Pegasus has evolved into, Cambridge analytica, and palantir, you do what exactly? Install Adblock? Do linux? Tor? News flash: you’re still getting profiled, just not as well. Move into a Unabomber style shack and eschew technology all together? Sounds expensive. Violent uprising against the most powerful military in the world? Good luck with that.
