You shouldn't have to do opsec to get medical care.

In the U.S. people often times are viewed as getting what they deserve for decisions made during periods of non-hyper vigilance. In our quest for an Ayn Randian paradise we believe it is a person’s fault if they aren’t hyper vigilant at all times.

I don't think it's what they deserved. There are many things that are illegal but probably shouldn't be: weed for example.

What I'm saying is, the article was actually about the fact that police are exploiting known insecure channels, not new ones. But the article title was suggesting the police were using new channels to surveil people. And I'm just surprised that many people don't know that phone calls, SMS, Google Searches, and Facebook Messenger can be obtained via subpoena.

I wasn’t referring to you. I know that it probably looked like it. I was trying to explain to jupp0r how some Americans view punishment in the U.S. As a whole this country is quite vengeful and we sometimes take personal responsibility to an unrealistic extreme. I should have clarified that I did not think you were engaging in type of rationalization.

Completely agree.
