Uh huh, so much for protecting data

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.

Exactly so. Anything transmitted over the phone system or the Internet is going to be captured and stored.
Humans may never look at it, but it is available if someone decides it is worth looking at.
Thank you for your post.
I hear ya. If we did things as we did in the old days, just use postal mail for everything we do, you’d be in much better shape. But as you suggested, even that is probably not totally secure from someone tampering with.
