Why does it have to be “profitable”??

So it can steal your credentials and hack your accounts! Duh!

I can only get so federect!

This is why we can’t have nice things!

I’m not all that concerned with ACTUAL privacy/encryption but rather more concerned with lower-level things like stalking, harassment, employers doing research about their employees’ non-work habits, insurance companies, etc.

I’m not talking about doing anything illegal and hiding from authorities who can use forensics on your data. Just general anti-corporate snooping and anti-harassment privacy protection.

Like, I feel more inclined to sign up and use something more like Raddle.me instead of lemmy because the owner of that site has a philosophical mission in favor of privacy.

Exactly. I feel like this is one of those instances of “We’re spending time thinking about whether or not we could, when we should be thinking about whether or not we should.”

Is this for discussing The Matrix (1999)?
