Things evolve, things change, we learn, we adapt.
Many world governments will happily track down a dissident by their ip, kidnap them in broad daylight and then torture them. Just because you're not one of them doesn't mean those people don't exist and don't have real concerns.
- superkuh 6y agoCorrect. And people that are living in a war zone should wear bullet proof vests and take all sorts of really burdensom security measures that detract from their quality of life and ability to communicate with their peers. But I am not going to wear a bullet proof vest while sitting around at home in my safe country. It'd be absurd to suggest so. The same applies to 'hiding' your IP during normal activities on the internet.
