    Wait until they find out who started the internet. Or who runs GPS satellites

    And they never spy on people or track them using the Internet or GPS signals?

    Why did you think this was a good argument for supporting privacy?

      People think that govt developed = bad. It’s a consideration for sure but if anything govt developed is so hopelessly and inherently compromised then many of the measures discussed here are useless for privacy already because they almost all run through internet, a govt created system. Even TOR. But yet here we are anyway because they are still useful systems.

      Governments pour tons of time money and effort into secure communication, and not for profit, and we can still take advantage of that advancement with some caution.
