    The mindset about privacy is just all wrong. It’s not an all or nothing game. Any privacy gain is a net positive to no privacy at all.

    To many people conflate privacy with anonymity or try “accomplish” privacy without understanding what they want to be private from and why.

      Many people don’t even distinguish

      • Privacy
      • Anonymity
      • Security

      So you know… For example Signal is private but not anonymous as it is tied to you in some way (username, phone number). Security is just not exposing yourself when you haven’t allowed someone to have this information / access.
