    If you where targeted by a state actor there is not much you could do honestly. They have more resources, more knowledge and more time then any one person. The truth is almost everybody is not going to be targeted.

      Exactly. I’m not being targeted by a state level actor, I don’t have any warrants or anything, and I’m pretty boring overall.

      There are two main strategies to staying hidden:

      • don’t be seen
      • blend in

      I do the first for the big threats (social media and other big tech), and the second for everything else. If the government wanted to find me, they could, my goal isn’t to hide, but to give them no reason to look for me.
