I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they’ll understand the why and the how.
you cornballs need to stop acting like trump is a supervillain/he is the reason mass surveilance exists
Welcome to Lemmy @destviz@lemm.ee !
What even is an actual cornball…? Genuine question. Never heard of it.
Of course mass surveillance existed long before the US had a fascist president, no one is implying that it didn’t.
It’s just that fascism is a great reminder why no government should have as much power to invade in privacy as the US has. Especially for those who are not subscribed to this community and forgot about that, so share this with them!
Nothing new here. I’d recommend checking out PrivacyGuides instead for a more comprehensive and informative list…
