10 years ago when people said we need to be concerned about privacy, I thoguht it's not a big deal. It's gotten pretty bad tho and I thought I need to be prepared for the worst case scenario of things getting worse in the next 10 years.
So I started moving my emails to proton and stuff, removed or disabled a bunch of apps on my phone. Access everything through browser with ads and trackers blocked, etc.
BUT it's like, weeks after my privacy journey started, three of our allied countries (US, UK and Aus) all decided to prove me right and not even wait the 10 years.
How likely is NZ to follow suit? I thought over 10 years I ease off social media, convice people close to me to do the same, etc. But it seems like I fucked up and it's too late and the empire won.
Its a lot harder when your decisions impact others too. Missed a call earlier cause I don't have fb messenger installed. Shit like that makes you want to just give up cause if feels like my tiny insignificant protest is not in inconvenient for me, but other people who likely don't care as much.
