It upsets me that people don't care about privacy and communications security. Mass data harvesting, mass surveillance, digital ID, chat control, VPN restrictions, encryption restrictions, email restrictions, backdoors in every device and component, et cetera - all of it is extremely bad and completely tyrannical.

How can anyone not feel the walls closing in? You're being herded into a pen where you can no longer dissent. After the transposition of the public space into the digital, there isn't really too much of a social/communal backup, like the pub, that everyone goes to without digital organising.

Even modern cars now ping cell towers, so they're constantly tracked, and are beginning to integrate driver cameras, so it doesn't matter if you don't take your phone somewhere, the car itself is spying on you.

There ARE people that care about this but not enough, and even people who should know better are lazy with this stuff and don't put in enough effort.
