50 years ago, privacy was the default.
Today, surveillance is the default.
You have less privacy today than anytime in human history.

Not in states....your address and phone number was listed in this thing called a phone book and sent to everyone in your area 😳
It's like the litigious society in a way. Companies get sued for looking at you the wrong way. Because of this, the disclaimers to the company contracts get so specific about every possible action, they become books. So basically, when you think about it, the client has all the responsibility back on their shoulders & the company doesn't!! Same with this surveillance thing... Pretty soon, it could be a big 'Who Cares' if they've got your social security # and how much you weigh and what side of your pants your dress on? I mean, I figure all my shits' already out there. The financial companies already budget for fraud and reimbursements.. We can also turn off all microphones on all our electronic stuff if we want, and make sure our refridgerators & thermostats & utilities don't have internet connections.. And of course, we can use NOSTR to give most everyone the middle finger if we want.. Then again, maybe I'm wrong about all this... 🙂
It’s a tough one to figure out
We never really had privacy to begin with.
Yet we need technology for everything nowadays. If we don't use it properly, privately, and yes... with FOSS, we're stupid.
You have better tools also to enable privacy again
Use them, problem solved
