I will say I don’t get quite the logic of being like:
“Yeah this countries spyware is bad so I’m running straight into the arms of this other countries spyware just to stick it to you original spyware!”
Instead of just, like, getting off the spyware.
It’s like being robbed and pulling out a gun to shoot yourself before the robber can and throwing your wallet into a street.
Sure it spites the robber but they can just shrug and move on to a weirdo who isn’t shooting themselves and they will probably just loot your pockets for spare change anyways.
Maybe I don’t feel that drive to be social at all costs.
Most people do not care about digital privacy to the extent that they’ll ever give anything up to achieve it. Online communities are not in any way representative of the general attitude towards these issues.
If I ask people whether they’re willing to put a mic in their house to let me spy on everything they’re saying they’ll say no. If I say it’ll also turn lights on and off and play despacito on demand the vast majority say yes. In isolation people prefer privacy, so long as it costs literally nothing. As long as they have to give up nothing. That’s where we are, unfortunately.
