    Policy makers are always trying to tell us that safety is a trade off by nature. That we have to give up privacy for it. That we can’t have both.

    Yet security experts alarm that privacy is a form of safety. Many of us were even told not to give everyone our private data growing up. FOR OUR OWN SAFETY.

    It‘s all so blatantly manipulative and fraudulent. Policy makers couldn‘t give less of a shit about our safety or the children.

    Everyone should be especially worried about any laws authoritarians push under the guise of “its for the kids”.

    Especially as the birthrate has dropped like a rock.

    I like Lemmy because it’s, by design, shielded against government surveillance through mandatory police ID checks. The government cannot target Lemmy because it’s decentralized/federated.
