You can't trust anything you have not built, incl. your laptop, keyboard, mouse, phone, car, even your teabag (what happens if they're randomly drugging your tea to test some pathogens, with a request from your government).

It's the people who were triggered by that to defend VPN usage against the pointing out of this reality, and to imply everyone aware of the drawbacks are paranoiacs; it's those people who have committed themselves in advance to a solution.

- vasco 3y agoThe universe you create is inside the universe you inhabit in, which has no privacy, so the universe you create also has no privacy.
- bayindirh 3y agoNo, you create a parallel one. It executes sandbox escape after a couple femtoseconds.
- DANmode 3y agoGiven enough time in your own head, this is doable.
- pessimizer 3y agoYou're right. We're actually wasting our time ever thinking about our security or privacy, or taking any measures to protect it. You've convinced me that some security is an illusion, and that the real answer is trust.
