Yeah that's all fun, I don't have anything to hide either. But what if I actually WILL in the future, retroactively? I've said a few things here and there, what if certain types of speech end up getting banned and if you don't remove it on time (or lost access), you risk jail-time?

Seems far away, but it's literally happening in England.

Please watch out with this kind of thinking - it's dangerous to everyone.

For the near future, more like info on safe abortions. Or union organizing.

In Germany (which also happens to be the country that successfully attacked Tor) it is currently illegal to support Palestine. Is there anything in your private messages that you wouldn't want the government to know?
