I mean, people say use end to end encryption, VPN, Tor, Open Source Operating System, but I think one thing missed is the hardware is not really open source, and theres no practical open source alternative for hardware. There’s Intel ME, AMD PSP, so there’s probably one in phones. How can people be so confident these encryption is gonna stop intelligence agencies?
It’s cute that you think much paperwork is needed at all.
The only time they do paperwork is when they need to present evidence publicly, like in a court. Lead generation is essentially free, and then they just construct a parallel charge.
