My friend, everything you don’t understand is not bootlicking. Grow up. I’m an anarcho-communist.
And yet you ask people to relinquish part of their defense?
Where did I ask that?
Your statement here and every follow up suggest you are asking people to not encrypt. I am saying its worth doing regardless as you impose your own compliance on unreasonable searches.
You don’t understand what I’m saying at all.
You need to understand your exposure, and who your adversary is. Is it big corps? Hackers? Oppressive governments? NSAs?
What I’m saying is if you’re trying to hide stuff from the last two, you shouldn’t have anything encryptable that they can get to. Keeping that information digitally and not clandestinely is not good.
If you’re trying to not get tracked online by Google that’s an entirely different approach.
