Plenty of people still believe that using a VPN + Tor means they are “private”. What we need to teach others is that this is no longer the case - privacy is not a one size fits all solution. You may be private from other users on your network, but not nation state actors.
- upofadown 2y agoVPN/Tor provide something else anyway: anonymity. Privacy is a different thing. You can lead an entirely private life in an environment where everyone knows who you are and who you interact with. They just don't know how you are interacting with those people. Most people don't need anonymity most of the time...
- mdhb 2y agoReally curious on your definition of private here because I have a buttload of evidence that says that is entirely untrue and you can as a private citizen buy detailed demographic and location data at an easily identifiable level for people without even needing to talk to another person.
