- JacobRiggs 7y agoI'd leave.
- haecceity 7y agoVPN and TLS ought to be sufficient. Sunglasses maybe?
- stuqqq 7y agoBasically pretend to be a mindless cooperative citizen and say nothing in public and only be the true self in front of family and friends in private.
- 978e4721a 7y agoWouldn't bother me. Privacy should be reserved to your home.
- Nextgrid 7y agoI would blend in with the crowd while doing my best to make enough money to escape. There's no point taking any risks in a jurisdiction that doesn't even understand basic human rights, and you ain't fixing that either, at least not from the inside.
- pmdulaney 7y agoThe authors of #1 see the solution as "obfuscation". I think they're on to something important, especially when the entity seeking the information isn't just a business wanting to grab what they can get away with, but rather a repressive state who will punish resistance. So I guess I would put it this way: Seek to reduce the signal to noise in the information gathered about you. #1 https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-fantasy-of-opting-out/ https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/the-fantasy-of-opting-out...
