At the beginning of the year, I was still hoping that the dystopian scenario would take another five years or so to unfold. Thanks to all of your efforts (not just yours) to undermine the systems instead of protesting and taking political action against them, things have long since shifted into high gear. By now, I think the dystopian scenario will be fully realized this year thanks to your efforts to constantly break the systems instead of addressing the real problems. The politicians are laughing because you keep giving them more and more reasons to do so, and since you’re not trying—politically or otherwise—to tackle the core problems, you’ll end up achieving the exact opposite. I’ve spent two decades advocating for data protection and privacy, only to now watch as you (and other) help tear it all down and destroy it by ridiculously offering temporary solutions that merely circumvent the systems instead of working to ensure these systems are ever actually implemented.

By the way, this also undermines the decades of hard work done by, for example, the entire CCC. Unlike you, they are truly politically active and genuinely want to do something about it.

But no one here will understand that anyway, and they’ll just keep claiming they’re doing something about it. Meanwhile, actions like this only undermine the efforts of those who really want to do something about it. But since people don’t even realize that when they hear it, all I’ll say is, let the downvotes rain down.
