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.

Things that are in every threat model include, but are not limited to.

Surveillance from advertising companies partnered with websites you go to and online services you use.
People online who might try to doxx you if you say something they don’t like or win too much in a game
The owner of a malicious website getting your IP address from visiting it by accident.
If your internet provider or anyone else gives you the third degree about using a VPN or any other privacy-friendly alternatives to anything, just say all but the first one
