- RajT88 2y agoThat is defeatist. It makes it harder without evidence.
- AdieuToLogic 2y ago> If the person in power doesn’t like you they don’t need evidence. Perhaps not. But what they do need is a way to specifically identify those whom they wish to persecute.

Which is one of the arguments for pervasive / opportunistic encryption: if only 'certain people' encipher communications, they stick out like a sore thumb. But if everything is encrypted, even 'innocuous' things, then it's harder to be targeted.
- MyOutfitIsVague 2y agoThey might not know that they don't like you if they don't have the evidence yet. That's the whole point. Don't give some future regime the ability to point at you as "the enemy within".
