@Tutanota @chadmccullough "it's not that I have something to hide. I have things I don't want to share."
@Tutanota
There are thousands of laws, rules, and regulations, federal, state, and local, that you could be unknowingly in violation of. Constant surveillance will expose an excuse to apprehend you.
@Tutanota agree! but, if I'm not tracking you, I can't know if you are innocent!! ;-)
@Tutanota Motorists are not innocent, they are psychotic murderers.
@Tutanota In particular, in a free country you do not have to carry ID with you, you cannot be stopped on the street and asked for "papers please", and you cannot be arrested for not having them with you.
(I'm looking at you, France.)
@Tutanota Everyone has something to hide, when you go to the Toilet you hide yourself!
@Tutanota The first phrase can often be followed by a «why are you doxxing me?» and the retort «why would you want your address and phone number hidden?»
@Tutanota
I love the Terry Pratchett quote
Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’, believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like ‘The innocent have nothing to fear’.
@Tutanota "Nothing to hide no reason to look"
@Tutanota nobody is innocent. no one can judge whether anyone is innocent.
and the "stupid stuff"you say, I have a batter words:无欲则刚, and it's no stupid.
@Tutanota innocent until proven otherwise.
Surveillance assumes not innocent
@Tutanota "If you have nothing to hide, then keep your fingers crossed that your very existence isn't declared illegal one day."
@Tutanota You have nothing to fear, if you have nothing to lose.
