Depends on your threat model. I don't include state actors in mine, they can employ $5 hammers just as easily as crypto breakers

- wahnfrieden 4y agoyou’re fine with state actors being able to precisely target propaganda / inciting calls to violence based on psychological profiles etc, including your neighbors
- sodality2 4y agoNot that they are fine, probably they just have no avenue to defend against that. It would be like an ant declaring war on the elephant.
- quickthrower2 4y agoOr maybe like a nest of hornets declaring war on a person
- wahnfrieden 4y agoindividual vs collective action
- calvinmorrison 4y agostate actors are much more prescient than that. From every tail light ticket to rain water collection law, the state bears every law on the threat of murder. That's the price for the social contract.
- arwhatever 4y agoGovt can’t use $5 hammers on 330 million people at once as they can with data collection.
- fulafel 4y agoThis is a common false dichotomy. Border agents and random highway stops are done by state actors. Vanishingly small slice of them are james bond-esque high stakes games.
