I know Europe is probably like the best place for digital privacy, but at the same time for me it’s unsettling to see that some of the European cities are the most surveiled cities in the world, and how even countries in Europe are trying to ban e2e encryption
Add the 5-9-14 eyes, strict anti piracy rules in some countries, stories about people getting arrested for messaging something, or doing something political, and you will get a pretty grim picture
My main problem with this, I don’t like being surveiled, nobody needs to have a thread model against being surveiled, because this is just nuts
Probably my stand is a little bit radical, I usually don’t carry a sim card, use Lora for a remote access to my home server, I would never go to the land of free or use any of their services, same with the land of China
You’re mostly correct. But they reason i’m paranoid because I just don’t think it’s a right thing to spy on people. I’m more kind of a free spirit and share love guy, and I don’t like the idea of living in the world of lies being constantly observed
Edit: In addition, you never know what’s going to be illegal tomorrow, you don’t need anything to hide to feel disgusted about governments spying on people
