Sarcasm usually plays out very poorly on written mediums like this, but you nailed it.

  Yes, well done.

    I feel bad now. I'm just highly frustrated that everyone is not actuated by the idea "if they _can_ spy on you, then they _will_". Any appeal to morals/integrity/laws are essentially moot in this area. We have the ability to protect ourselves and we should be using it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/01/obama-expands-surveillance-powers-his-way-out https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/01/obama-expands-surveill...

      > We have the ability to protect ourselves and we should be using it. I don't doubt that the technology exists, I just doubt the ability of the average person to be able to protect themselves. As someone who works in a technical field with decent computer literacy, I still have a hard time approaching this problem. Perhaps I'm just not as literate as I think I am.

      "They have no reason to look" is to me equivalent to "I have nothing to hide". Both may be true, but both willfully surrender control of the situation.
