engaging in money laundering? who knows
that's the point: even if you're not doing anything shady you don't really know what sort of long term risk you're taking on if you're using something that looks to governments as if it's tailor made for money laundering
- droffel 6y agoI guess I shouldn't use a VPN, because that might look like I have something to hide. Using cash? No way! If I use cash I might look like a criminal. Leave my cell phone at home? No way, I wouldn't want to be suspicious, would I? I need the government to surveil me every second of every day, because if they don't, maybe I'm a criminal. At what point do you say enough is enough, and embrace the idea that you should minimize your digital footprint whenever possible?
