Big brother isn’t the biggest threat to most people, although it might be for “crypto users” I suppose.

That may be changing for politically active people such as those on freerepublic...

Oh I can see that coming, if the current course doesn’t change.

That’s what a lot of people fail to do. Look ahead.

I was reading about data aggregation and the lack of privacy (particularly by silicon valley) and actually mentioning it to people long before it started to enter the public consciousness, although it’s debatable that it has yet actually that pervasively known. It was easy to predict then the things that are happening now, and the future looks a lot worse with biometrics, and again, it’s probably not ‘big brother’ that your average person should really be worried about. The private sector exploitation of people’s everyday activity has only just begun.

So speaking for myself, I would take the stand and defend anything I’ve posted on FR, at least in the context of the article and/or the conversation, but that doesn’t mean that people wont still get railroaded by lawfare in the future if this political climate heating up.
