With your attitude you cannot trust anybody.

Also government is nothing bad. A part of a good data safety policy is absolutely also including cooperation with law enforcement. If you think that your government is abusing its power then choosing super-crypto is not the right battle field - you have to become politically active.

> you have to become politically active

Okay, fine, if you have the energy for it, but even if you dedicated yourself to it fully, the most that you can hope for is a small incremental change back from the brink, around the time you are old enough to retire. What are you going to do with your life in the meantime? If your government is abusing its power, which most generally are, then for practical purposes you have to treat that as a given and work around it.

The problem with Facebook is that one entity has access to all the info.

I don't trust any single entity; they are too easy to pervert. Just one more kind of bad monoculture.

Strong crypto and political activism are not contradictory; they are complementary
