    I’ve been online since the early 90s, when it was just understood that there were risks, so you had to protect yourself. So it’s not so much that I got into internet privacy as that I’ve never done things any other way.

    The only thing that’s really changed is that I’ve had to shift more from passively protecting myself to actively protecting myself, since corporate and government shitstains are constantly scheming to destroy our privacy in order to expand and protect their own wealth, power and privilege.

      It’s insane how abruptly things went from “Don’t share any information, online, especially anything personal” to “You must be a suspicious person or a criminal if you’re not on the net with your real name, face and everything about your life” in the advent of Facebook et al.
