    Don’t do illegal stuff that makes people paid to find you come looking for you.

    The thing is, the definition of “illegal” will continuously shift until it includes things that you consider innocuous.

    “First they came for,” and all that.

      This is the laziest excuse possible for ceeding responsibility to everyone else.

      Know the law in the jurisdiction in which you are physically located. Know the reasonable expectations of internet privacy.

      If the law and you end up crosswise, and lawyering up isn’t a viable option because it won’t matter, that means you were fool enough to tempt fate in a place with no rule of law, no civil rights protections, and likely no reasonable expectation of privacy in the first place.

      Zero trust means the only person responsible for you is you and anyone else you trust with your life. Whining about it doesn’t change anything.
