No, I focus on that because it's real. It sounds like you don't get out much, just judging by how you talk to people. So let me lay it out for you. People are resistant to change and you have to convince them. You aren't good at that, which is why you're so mad. I'm trying to get information to help convince people I know and love, which is why I'm asking for more information from the person who seems to know a lot. However you also seem to be bad at providing resources to back your claims up.

No, not everyone who fails to relate to your American experience "fails to get out much". It's more than you're incapable of understanding why someone would avoid centralizing "privacy services" in countries that run the global capitalist surveillance state. What you're doing is derailing the thread + demanding spoon feeding + begging the question. Your motivation is a wounded ego because someone said you made a bad choice—one that is as easy to fix as installing and uninstalling services.

Jesus Christ dude. I'm talking about how you are immediately hostile to everyone in this thread. Get over yourself.
