They’re actively engaged in and expressed desire in increased levels personal surveillance. With AI on the rise we can’t be too careful. Don’t make it too easy to find posts by you containing their names, or allusions to them. In a few years, posts like these could be considered illegal - even retroactively like the Nazis did!

I work in IT, specifically education. I know how easy it can be to passively and actively monitor thousands of people with one station. It’s probably already too late for us, but we can try.

Use metaphor, don’t use the direct spelling, don’t make your intentions completely clear.

    It’s far too late for all of my accounts already, and I’m not going to waste my time going back through them and scrubbing every instance of me talking about how Elon Musk buries his four inch cock up to the balls in Donald Trump’s throat while Jeffrey Bezos pegs them both with Clint Eastwood’s Oscar statues every other Sunday, but he’s not allowed to cum unless Vladimir Putin says so over the Zoom window he watches from.

    Donald Trump’s dick is small and it drives him crazy, and Elon Musk is such a fucking dweeb that even with billions and billions of dollars, he still can’t be even slightly cool.

    Alternatively, be loud and proud so that you have evidence that you should be granted asylum when the time comes

      Lmao, what do you think happens when you show up in an EU country requesting asylum?

      They say “The United States is a Democracy. Asylum denied. Good luck.” gets deported back to the US

      Then the border agents make some excuse that says your US passport is invalid, and you get thrown in a camp where they hold all the “illegal immigrants”. Don’t forget about the 13th amendment prison slavery exemption.

      (And by the time the world no longer recognize the US as a Democracy, it’d be too late, since borders would be closed and you won’t be able to leave.)

        This is actually not true. If you are part of a “persecuted group” without access to a safe alternative location inside the country of origin, you can seek asylum in the EU.

        So for example, trans people from Florida currently cannot seek asylum in the EU although they are at risk of “discriminatory and disproportionate prosecution” for using public restrooms, because there is an “internal protection alternative”, in other states.

        If however, federal law is passed banning trans folks from public bathroom use, it is likely that they could seek asylum in the EU.

    This is needless fearmongering. Follow basic privacy practices and it’ll take far more than a “mass surveillance” level of effort to track down your real identity from a social media profile. Also the amount of dislike for Trump and/or Musk is huge, so they’d have to go after like half the population.

    And with that said, Trump and Musk are pieces of shit and deserve to die.

          No, but it shows what they’re capable of. Are you banking on Trump continuing the status quo? Even with all the random threats he’s been throwing around? In charge of the most powerful military in the world? Do you think he’s above labeling us all radical leftist terrorists and sending the militarized police after us?

          Things are changing. We have no idea what to expect yet.

            The US government and its oligarch pals has so much data on each of us already that if you haven’t been completely sanitary with your internet usage from the start, you’re already in a database, and there’s no point in worrying about it now.

            I agree with the sentiment of this post, but let’s face it: if we get to the point where they’re sending secret police to everyone who ever said “fuck Trump” online, we’re beyond fucked, and electronic defenses will be moot at that point. Using euphemisms for Trump and Musk won’t save you from their surveillance.

            Right now, it’s important to be outspoken about every one of their abuses, to name and shame them for as long as it’s still allowed, because the moment it’s not, there won’t be anything left to defend.

            That’s fair, it’s definitely a possibility. However in my opinion it’s far too unlikely to justify the self-censorship.

    He was already president once, anything post 2016 is probably noted.

      I’m thinking the noise is hella easy to get posts buried in, especially around here. But still, security through obscurity is not security.

      And they won’t find you through your posts, they’ll crucify you for them once you’re caught for something else.

        Well, a known fascist tactic is making examples out of randomly chosen people who allegedly said the wrong thing in the wrong place. The amount of noise doesn’t matter in that case. They’ll just pick people at random they can persecute publicly in an attempt to scare everyone into clamming up and obeying.

        At that point, there is no point in censoring yourself, because they will target you randomly regardless. At that point, there will be no point in saying or not saying anything online, because the only recourse will be [removed by lemmy.world admins] until the last one is [removed]

        I mean, you and I hope they are remembered forever as the villains they are, so, like I said, they should hope to go down as little more than footnotes.

        A lame-duck 2nd term is the best Trump’s legacy can hope for.
