Re: a nice try....
"and the measures one deploys have to be proportionate to the probability and impact of the risk."
The impact of the risk is going to jail for something irrelevant or that you didn't even do because the government has a new automated witch hunt. And the probability increases with every day.
I'm sorry mate, but I can't agree with your take. You still seem to believe that anyone out there should consider themselves below some threshold where they shouldn't have to worry about state actors. I say you can't be more wrong. That whole argument is based on the faulty premise "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear."
Well sorry to burst your bubble, but if you have nothing to hide you still have everything to fear. We've automated witch hunts int he 21st century. And nobody is safe. Not one single fucking person.
So your only hope of survival as a free/libre individual is to raise the barrier to running you to ground high enough that they target some other poor slob instead.
