If your adversary is someone who can … quite literally … send ninjas in attack helicopters at you. You’re probably going to lose.

- upofadown 2y agoThe idea is to prevent them from developing a motivation to do that by keeping them out of your business in the first place.
- mmh0000 2y agoI get the motivation. But good luck keeping an organization out of anything you care about when they can: . Legally kill you . Legally compel corporations to embed backdoors . Legally seize all your equipment . Throw away millions of dollars pursing “petty” crimes. Technical means of defending against something like the NSA is, in my opinion, a lost cause. I believe the way to deal with this is by being politically active. Getting people engaged and limiting the powers of these organizations.
- whatshisface 2y agoBecoming politically active is one of the fastest ways to get "legally killed," in countries where that actually happens...
- paretoer 2y agoTotally agree. I would think part of a good defense is to simply not care about politics on any level. Personally, I think all these counter measures are a fool's game. It most likely ends up being a form of self labeling as a person to look into. My defense is to be a boring person, not trying to hide anything, lost in a sea of noise.
- adolph 2y ago> Getting people engaged and limiting the powers of these organizations. My impression is that most people want more government; thus, getting more people engaged will lead to increasing the powers of these organizations.
- fulafel 2y agoThis is a black-and-white reasoning bug that people often have when thinking about this. The vast majority of targets aren't worth top resources or a risk of exposure.
