There’s a fine line between being cautious and going full McAfee. The problem is, the world keeps moving that line.
What used to be “paranoid” now reads like common sense. Covering your webcam? Routine. Running a deGoogled phone? Sensible. Using encrypted chat? Basic hygiene.
So where’s the actual line?

Self-assessment for paranoia doesn't work. If you're really paranoid, you'll have a counter-argument for each of the items on the first list and if you're in the "nothing to hide" camp, you probably won't care about cloud photos and your home address on your Facebook profile. You will never know before the fact if you've been "paranoid enough" and after the fact it's too late.
