It doesn’t just breach them. It screws them up and throws them away.
Fortunately it’s not as gloomy as it seems at first glance.
There are three types of people.The ones that say If you’ve got nothing to hide then you’ve got nothing to worry about. These people don’t care that government can and is looking at their personal data.
Then there are the people that care but not enough to actually do anything about it. They still use iCloud or Google Drive without encryption, they use Windows and Facebook and/or Twitter.
Then there the people that actually had ADP enabled. They DO care about privacy. They already stay away from “Big Tech” like Apple, Google and Microsoft. They use as many end-to-end encrypted services as possible and keep their most private data stored encrypted locally. They don’t use Windows and have a privacy respecting operating system on their phone.
This bill only really affects group three and we’re already taking steps to keep our lives as private as possible without going totally off-grid.
Yes the Online Safety Act is dangerous, Orwellian and it should be stopped. But at least it’s brought the conversation about the states mass surveillance and people’s right to privacy front and center.
