I disagree with this. It may be true, to a degree, but to say this means you will likely just say "screw it" and not take any precautions at all, which puts you much more at risk of falling victim to something.
There is a whole niche industry around restoring digital privacy with open source hardware and software. It IS possible to have a secure device. It just takes more work than most people are willing to commit to.
You misinterpret the thrust of my argument.
There is no defense against CIA or NSA intrusion of your workstation if they target you. I'm not saying that in a speculative fashion.
However:
My only argument is that this fact shouldn't be a reason to keep people out of the fight. We win by people assuming the risks and fighting, not by going offline/dark.
I completely agree with you, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a strong focus on security against other potential attackers on all of the endpoints in one's home. I am only referring to state-sponsored attacks on individuals where there is no defense. Security should always be a major focus, especially given the vengeful idiots we're often arguing with.
NOTE: If you're referring to some of the lower-tech comms options that are starting to become more refined, I think those do genuinely have some potential. My security comments are exclusively in the realm of traditional desktop/laptop devices that most people use to access the web.
Agreed. Thanks for clarifying.
Why aren’t there more people out there putting systems for this together?
They are out there but you have to search outside of the matrix.
It should be a more popular industry but people have been conditioned to give up their privacy and so most people just don't care.
I’m expecting we have to do this at some point.
Hopefully it’s a way off, there’s too many other things to handle right now.
The fact that even TOR has backdoors doesn’t bode well for total overcoming just yet.
Computer engineer here. There is no way to have a secure device right now.
So tell me what aspects of security you are most concerned about and what precautions do you take with your important data?
