Might sound a bit of a silly question. I see people talking about threat models, and privacy guides which say things like “if this is part of your threat model, do X Y Z”. I’m just not sure if it’s a general “this is what I want to protect myself against” or if there’s more to it.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

That’s basically it. It’s the things you either think are likely threats or the threats you want to be protected from.
It’s why people often ask what’s in someone’s threat model, because each is individual. More security/privacy usually comes with tradeoffs, so just “do the most secure thing always” isn’t necessarily the best solution for everyone.
