Anyone who thinks any kind of “privacy”, whether traditional or centralized, is offered without the back doors already operative is hopelessly naive. (That too goes for Freeping, despite the Robinsons’ good efforts.)

~~~

People need to understand something. No data is safe.

In most cases, like email, most platforms and providers make no pretense about privacy. Even if you use a VPN, your data is not safe. You should treat mail as public, and never transmit anything you consider private.

Just because you operate under the delusion that the world respects your privacy doesn’t make it so.

I’m just writing this to wake up anyone here who may have this misunderstandings. I’m not saying it for shock value.

If you mail a parcel out, you should have a reasonable expectation that it will be delivered without inspection, but “should” is a subjective mistake.
