Ah, I didn't realize your membership was technically free. Of course it requires someone to give you their email though, LOL!

In any case, if you really believed that people's actions are why they leak information then you would be able to name alternative courses of action to using all those little privacy tricks and tools.

Privacy is a hobby, not a realistic way of life!

Technically free... I need a email in order to contact people with information and updates. No other reliable way to do so. It requires someone to sign up, confirm that they intended to do so, and then every email has a single click unsubscribe button. No one gets the email unless they really want it and I do not filter burner or anon accounts which I am happy to see 90% are using.

I am not following your argument in the slightest that People's actions somehow don't have a impact on their results.

Privacy is more than a hobby. Everyone has different needs and risks which determines what actions are required to mitigate those risks.

You are free to ride your motorcycle without a helmet but it's foolish if you have something to lose.

See? People could easily hide their email from you by simply not reading your field manuals or not recieving updates. But blaming people's lack of privacy on a choice like that is inconceivable to you. instead you choose to focus on burner and anonymous emails. You don't blame people's choices for their lack of privacy, you blame their lack of technological gimmicks.

But these gimmicks aren't guarunteed to exist. Only through inaction and by abstaining completely from having any interesting personal information can someone have truly robust and reliable privacy. You don't REALLY blame people's actions for their lack of privacy, because you refuse to acknowledge an empty life as a legitimate option. That's what makes privacy just a hobby for you, and most other privacy fans.

I just wish y'all had a little self awareness. People don't care very much about your personal information, and if they did, all of these weak tricks would not be sufficient. All it would take is one slip up in an area you didn't consider. All because you refuse to acknowledge the nuclear option.
