Anybody who thinks they have online privacy is deluded. Regardless of Chat Control.


It would appear that you suffer from acute privacy nihilism [0].

I would call it despair.


Wowee! Good point sir, might as well hand all of my rights away because they are sometimes infringed already.

If you give away something for nothing, that usually means you're a sucker. But it takes a real genius to justify giving everything away for nothing.


Nonsense.

If online privacy was that impossible Ukraine couldn't successfully organize sabotage operations in Russia. They do it all the time.


On the open internet? The drone strike in January that made headlines was not quite that simple. The drones were directed using dead reckoning. The drivers of the trucks were not informed what was happening with their cargo. Even the American government was kept in the dark.


Not at all. Ukraine had operatives inside Russia. The trucks were not driven in from outside Russia. The system was assembled inside Russia. Also, every single drone had its own pilot: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq69qnvj6nlo

That's also just one of many operations inside Russia. There's lots of sabotage and assassinations that have been done.

You just can't do operations like that without secure communications.
