much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
You're a moron, a troll, and probably a child. You should go outside, so maybe your parents will love you again.
Wow... how do you post something with so many words yet fail to convey anything?
I conveyed that I believe that you're a moron, a troll, a child, someone who doesn't go outside, and someone whose parents don't love them.
I see you're holding to the Australian view on cryptography.
Also more a spectrum insofar as it does or can "exist"
more demoralization attacks from the alphabet boys' goons and henchmen. why dont yall go get a life? you talk like some Professor Chaos wannabe, kinda cute to be honest.
i agree with you. i still think we should do what we can to make it harder for them to get our info. there are plenty of sheep for them to take care of. maybe they wont notice a few goats that wander off.
orwell already gave us the handbook for whats currently going on in this world.
That would need a great amount of storage, that nobody knows about. Even if you are a criminal to be caught think how much data they have and do not have? Not enough to be caught yet? Data collection is not easy and cheap task. You are just a crying baby and "Overlords" dont give a fuck about you.

I think modern privacy is more about creating noise than anything else. Anything you do that can in some way be tied to an internet connection in your name is traceable to you to some degree of certainty, so create lots of noise to filter through, so its hard to derive meaning from anything. Be simultaneously a Democrat, a Republican and something completely off the chart of their political understanding. The idea is to create misinformation about yourself that is indistinguishable from the real information. Use stock images for the pictures on any accounts under your real name and make deep fake videos using those faces. Run one of those scripts that generates a bunch of background traffic, use tor and a VPN for mundane tasks. Have social media accounts that express a wide variety of political beliefs and use chatgpt to fill in any details you don't care to fill out. Never post pictures of yourself on the internet, but post stock photos/videos of other people frequently. Edit pictures of yourself to have other faces. Use algorithms intentionally designed to confound AI to edit photos. A lot of these tasks are being automated now so you don't have to think too much about any of it. Also if you want privacy get a dumb mp3 player and a dumb camera that can't connect to the internet at all. Then leave your phone in different locations, not just your house for extended periods of time. Switch usernames frequently and jump accounts on different services. Change your email address often. If you can, legally change your name, but go by many names in different circles. Move around a lot, change jobs often... etc, etc. Its hard to pull meaningful data out of a messy dataset, so make those that collect it all have to work really hard to make meaning of it all. Any combination of these sort of things in addition to good general oppsec will make whatever dossier somebody puts together seem fairly useless. Think about Lee Harvey Oswald for example. His dossier was all over the place, having him playing multiple political adversaries and making a bit of a scene while doing so. It's almost impossible to determine his personal motivations because of all the misinformation he created around himself. Obviously its harder now to disappear into an alias identity, but give up on believing they can't get anything on you, instead focus on giving them too much.
People always to scared to do this on their real accounts. Go home OP your drunk.
Do you have any evidence for your claims? I’m thinking specifically the claim that all cryptography used in the internet can be broken.
And VPN? I laugh when I think about VPN. There is no cryptographic protocol used on the Internet, that the Overlords who brought all these technologies out in the first place, cannot decipher. None. The only way to live with this level of privacy evasion is to accept the reality of it. Stop thinking you are ever alone. Out in the middle of nowhere with no electronics on you? Maybe
More than that VPNs are a marketing hyped designed by such "overloads" to profit from the people once more.
So, what's if I don't carry a smartphone all the time and have all my pictures, mails, calendar etc stored on my own Linux computer? And an old TV that's hooked up via HDMI? No Alexa, no VPN... My own encrypted messenger?
Also: Are there shades of grey or is everything black or white?
Sure, Internet privacy may be neigh unattainable, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying to seek it out or casually roll over when corps try to take it from us. Thing like VPNs are a good, accessable place for most people to start taking control of their online privacy.
