People complaining here that security was to lax, people complaining in the next thread that the libre dev is the victim because security was to high.

Is it possible to get both balanced, yes. But it will never make everyone happy.

There are no private spaces online, your privacy is at the whim of whoever owns the servers and whatever government controls them.

Unless you're using end to end encrypted communication with people you know and trust you should assume that everything you do online has your actual name and face attached to it.

I do agree that it sucks.

There should be laws, with criminal consequences, that protect our privacy but essentially every government is of the opinion that actual privacy should never exist online because they think it's better to sacrifice everyone's privacy than to let a single criminal go undetected.

This is why you see all Western governments simultaneously running "think of the children" campaigns as they slowly manuver the Internet into requiring every device be identifiable and linked to a person.

This is why the end-to-end encrypted communication providers are also being pressured right now. Because with systems built using encryption to enforce the rules are actually private.

Governments know this, as they heavily rely on encrypted communication systems. They just don't want anybody else to have that privilege.
