Please voice your opinion, is privacy a myth ?

[CyberStrike]

Yes it is big time, even with a VPN according to released documents the NSA has effective attacks against VPN's.

Apparently the thought of "collect it all so we know it all" is alive and well

Tell the average citizen "We need this law to prevent %insert threat here%" and they don't care. Then look at Tempora in the UK maybe EU

Here is Germany, which was the focus of https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5858506 ( Forensics Workshop 2)

I tend to take not just my privacy seriously but others privacy, by the average citizen just allowing whatever with no thoughts of how it can impact them in the future. Meanwhile actual threats understand the measures deployed and avoid detection. Like when the NCA post, it's basically public feel good stories, meanwhile what about the members of parliment who were hacked by a bruteforce attack? Meh that just too hard, and the admin was busy didn't see 100's of alerts.

This should be in the PI Section, but of course it is.
There are vulnerabilities for everything.

[Mr. Robot]

Privacy can still be achieved through extreme measures but relies heavily on how far you are willing to go.

Just remember, FEDS don't really touch HF as it will push worse offenders to trying to protect themselves more. It's best they leave HF alone and let users make mistakes and leave a trail.

[Who Soup]

Privacy is a luxury that not many people can obtain

[Abisek]

thank you guys for beautiful comments

[FemaleHuman7]

Install Libreboot and use tor, new accounts every day, Pretty easy

That would've been an awkward encounter I assume.

Of course it's a myth. That's why I don't even bother with the bullshit people write nowadays about how websites are evil and selling all of your shit. It really doesn't matter what you do. You can use Tor behind 8 proxies all you want; it still won't make it a difference.

It will. But if someone tries really hard they can still find you.

And there isn't a problem with that.
