They’re actively engaged in and expressed desire in increased levels personal surveillance. With AI on the rise we can’t be too careful. Don’t make it too easy to find posts by you containing their names, or allusions to them. In a few years, posts like these could be considered illegal - even retroactively like the Nazis did!
I work in IT, specifically education. I know how easy it can be to passively and actively monitor thousands of people with one station. It’s probably already too late for us, but we can try.
Use metaphor, don’t use the direct spelling, don’t make your intentions completely clear.
This is needless fearmongering. Follow basic privacy practices and it’ll take far more than a “mass surveillance” level of effort to track down your real identity from a social media profile. Also the amount of dislike for Trump and/or Musk is huge, so they’d have to go after like half the population.
And with that said, Trump and Musk are pieces of shit and deserve to die.
Stuff is coming out how they found Luigi. This person is under-informed.
You should explain what “stuff” is “coming out”, then, instead of vagueposting.
A high profile murder is not comparable to some random guy insulting a politician on social media.
No, but it shows what they’re capable of. Are you banking on Trump continuing the status quo? Even with all the random threats he’s been throwing around? In charge of the most powerful military in the world? Do you think he’s above labeling us all radical leftist terrorists and sending the militarized police after us?
Things are changing. We have no idea what to expect yet.
The US government and its oligarch pals has so much data on each of us already that if you haven’t been completely sanitary with your internet usage from the start, you’re already in a database, and there’s no point in worrying about it now.
I agree with the sentiment of this post, but let’s face it: if we get to the point where they’re sending secret police to everyone who ever said “fuck Trump” online, we’re beyond fucked, and electronic defenses will be moot at that point. Using euphemisms for Trump and Musk won’t save you from their surveillance.
Right now, it’s important to be outspoken about every one of their abuses, to name and shame them for as long as it’s still allowed, because the moment it’s not, there won’t be anything left to defend.
That’s fair, it’s definitely a possibility. However in my opinion it’s far too unlikely to justify the self-censorship.
