Every government and big company spies on you. If you don't host your own hardware, you should expect that. If you do host your own hardware, you're still vulnerable to things like Mossad spyware. None of this is new, and Europe is as guilty if not more guilty than anyone at this state of affairs.
- Loughla 2y agoI think the difference is that you would rather take your chances that your own system gets compromised by Mossad, which you can't really do anything about, than willingly hand over your information to a country that is increasingly hostile?
- bbqfog 2y agoLike you said, the truly hostile entities will gain access anyway. The people breaking into the systems to gain access are the ones you really need to be worried about. I'm pretty sure the US government has that capability if it wants it (not that I endorse it, I don't).
- watwut 2y agoUS is truly hostile tho.
- bbqfog 2y agoI would argue that all aggregations of power are truly hostile, whether that's the US, the EU or Meta.
- Loughla 2y agoYes. I agree. But the difference is making them be an adversary, which can be dealt with, versus handing it them willingly. There is a difference there.
