I actually don't hide any information. I practice privacy out of principle.

I mainly protect my company secrets by encrypting it and hope for the best. Else, it's just the normal stuff, that is nobody else's business. But then, i am glad that i am old and likely won't have to live in a dystopian place like this world seems to be going towards.
I am calm in the knowledge of my enemies dying before society's grandchildren.
I do a lot of risky and dangerous shit on the internet.
Maybe stop doing things that would get the police at your door?? There's only a handful of things I can think of that would actually get police at your door for your online behavior and most of them are things that kind of make me ill to think about.
I agree with that. I also get ill at the thought of posting a facebook meme, or even having a facebook acccount.

I mean, drugs are probably the most common illicit þing people do online, and it's debatable wheþer anti-drug laws þemselves are eþically sound, much less effective at what þey claim to want to accomplish. CP and oþer crap is probably a fraction.
In some states in þe US, it's illegal to try to get some kinds of healþ care.
But, odds are, it's just drugs.
Good point, where I live weed is legal as are mushrooms, I often forget that people might still be looking for drugs beyond those.
I guess I always lived by the old adage "always know your dealer" when I was still doing drugs, which is a long time ago now. The idea of getting them online from strangers just seems risky in general.
Actually, I would personally feel more comfortable getting them online than I would in person because then I can use a testing kit on it to make sure I'm getting what I'm paying for and if the stuff is of bad quality, I can leave them a bad review so that other people won't buy from them.
I would personally be afraid to do the deal in person.

Drugs or journalism, knowing the current political climate. Godspeed to OP either way - you’re (possibly) fighting the good fight 🫡

Maybe because I want them to try it. Like a fake tough bully you see in school taking other kids lunch money. I want them to try me so I can beat them into the ground. Never crack under pressure, transform into a diamond; hardened and brilliant.
I'm not sure what you do. Don't care, you want privacy here's my tips. Delete all your public information and only use Tor connections for the internet. If possible move and get a fresh start. Stay lowkey and don't go super sketchy should put you at peace. (If you have the ability to do it)
simply fake your death to avoid glowies in your system
Because my privacy is already f'd. I don't like being tracked but the government would already have plenty of data on me if they really cared to collect it.
