If your personal threat model at this point is not literally:

“everything I ever do can be used against me in court”

…then you are not up-to-date with the latest state of society

Privacy is the most relevant when you are in a position where that information is the difference between your life or your death

The average person going through their average day breaks dozens of laws because the world is a Kafkaesque surveillance capitalist society.

The amount of information that exists about there average consumer is so unbelievably godly such that any litigator could make an argument against nearly any human on the planet that they are in violation of something if there is enough pressure

If you think you’re safe in this society because you “don’t do anything wrong“ then you’re compromised and don’t even realize it
