That's not helpful. "data safety policy" is only as safe as you trust the people running it, and as long as you trust the government not to change the playing field.
Historically, neither of these tend to be sustainable.
- blubb-fish 9y agoWith your attitude you cannot trust anybody. Also government is nothing bad. A part of a good data safety policy is absolutely also including cooperation with law enforcement. If you think that your government is abusing its power then choosing super-crypto is not the right battle field - you have to become politically active.
- beagle3 9y agoThe problem with Facebook is that one entity has access to all the info. I don't trust any single entity; they are too easy to pervert. Just one more kind of bad monoculture. Strong crypto and political activism are not contradictory; they are complementary
- marssaxman 9y ago> you have to become politically active Okay, fine, if you have the energy for it, but even if you dedicated yourself to it fully, the most that you can hope for is a small incremental change back from the brink, around the time you are old enough to retire. What are you going to do with your life in the meantime? If your government is abusing its power, which most generally are, then for practical purposes you have to treat that as a given and work around it.
