I was watching this yesterday. She talks about the way the government pushes private companies to follow out their spying basically.
We already gave out freedom and rights away a long time ago. Everything is just for show.

Honestly I'm convinced these news stories are just for show to bend the average person's mind to believe they don't already have all your digital data.
No one should feel safe using any of the top brand tech. ...and sadly you can't feel safe using the smaller companies either.
The fact a war hasn't started already is kind of mind blowing and really shows the American spirit of freedom is all bullshit. No one wants to admit reality they just want to continue this odd half-life escapist lifestyle that gets marketed to them by the people that use them.
You definitely can't feel safe using Lemmy either
There really is no privacy at all anywhere.
There is if you are rich enough.
If we're going to live in a privacy-less world, it needs to be for everyone
It's wild.... Right now that's the current nuke race... Ai policing and surveillance. And that's the reason for the geopolitics... Say america took over Canad, venazuala, and Greenland.... Then they instill their modernized crypto and tokenization of commodities... That would mean they are on top of the world. From there they just need to consume other nations... Basically the entity that successfully implements AI and ai policing etc... owns humanity.
People are actually dumb as fuck though and instantly suck the dick of emotionl marketing campaigns that rape their humanity.
I honestly would think america would have a lot of suicide bombers.... But no American even cares enough.
E en the Epstein file are probably tainted if you really understand how the game is played. Who wouldn't Epstein and anyone that agrees with him or owned by him not find people to submit bullshit accusations and make fake emails to muddy the water? Not to mention mass media that just farms money off emotions and the naive influencer that think they are playing the game.
Obviously Epstein's a fuck and fucked up, but at the same time he seems like a fall guy for bigger entities. Probably the CIA and friends.
If you have your own instance you have access to user comment and post history (even if deleted), voting history, IP address, and more for every other instance you're federated with.
Lemmy is by no means privacy focused.
Do you really think you can't export data from your own instance?
And why are you making the assumption that an instance is being seized by law enforcement? They almost certainly have their own instances just for data collection.
The only way Lemmy works is by sharing all of that data with all of the other federated instances. With your own instance you can choose whether or not to ingest all of that data.
And the point is that you wouldn't know whether an instance is owned by the feds. There doesn't even have to be any activity on the instance. Literally anyone can do this at any time and no one would know.
