Originally this was a reply to this article about a Windows feature called Recall, but there’s a good argument the author’s concerns resonate far beyond Windows and Meta to proprietary generally.

What are you scared of? There’s more of us than there are of them. Hiding in the shadows, too afraid to act is how they win. Be loud and deliberate in voicing your opposition. If they’re coming for you anyway you may as well face it head on.

Until those willing to stand up and fight build up into a critical mass, every individual is at risk of being disappeared by the thought police. So until then, there is a good reason to be scared.

Maybe it’s worth buying a gun and learning how to use it so that, if they come for you, you at least get to kill a fascist.

This could be the only thing that would deter them.

Well, that’s not going to happen if everyone stays hidden until it’s safe to come out
