Anonymizing and Personal security 2k17

This has all been covered a thousand times but the short answer is to protect yourself from change.

It's a slippery slope, once we lay down and surrender our right to privacy what's next?

Both bring up quality points. However, in regards to change, I feel that's a difficult point to bring up as well-most people are quite used to changing technology. For most now, especially in urban areas, most people access the internet through their tablet or phone, which they rotate annually. "change" is scary regardless of it's form, but when it comes to tech, most view it as something to be excited about rather than fear. In my experience at least, only the elderly fear technological change.

The same reason you would draw your curtains and put metal bars on your windows, so that niggers cant get in.

The best example is Cuba.

On every single block in Cuba, there's secret police who's job it is to just spy. They don't arrest you for picking up gay hookers, buying drugs, or hanging around whoever or whatever they just keep tabs on you in the form of a very concise intel report.

This is so whenever you become a political threat such as an activist or candidate, they can reach into your life and cherry pick out some things to discredit you with. That's how mass spying essentially works, just in Cuba it's more obvious because there's a physical human there with binoculars watching you whereas in our countries it's our own devices spying on us.

Jon/Jane Doe doesn't have to worry until they become a threat to the system (you can even be a witness to an event, and be considered a threat) then you'd wish they didn't have a dossier of dirt on your and your family.
