The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.

Yes, family, friends trust more an outsider rather than a family member with decades of real proven knowledge in the IT/Tech field.

The reason being that AUTHORITIES have imense power of manipulation at hand rather than a single opinion of a family member…

At one time I did, and to my surprise, my friend did just that! Unlocked their phone and handed it to me without a word. Welp.

If you ask a fulfilled woman she may tell you that she likes a hard dick that fucks her well.

There are plenty of useless dicks hanging around…
