So I am now a target of the NSA..... I despise Facebook and all other social media. Though I do have a lurker account on Twitter now that Elon fixed it from the authoritarians that use to run the platform. Never post though

He made it more conservative friendly which is why you like it now. "Free speech" was just a cover story.

lol I wonder if the fact I basically stopped all social media activity last year except some reddit and HN checking in set off alarms lol. It was more about personal life improvement rather than anything nefarious

Why do people get so horny pretending they are targets of state surveillance.

It’s an astonishing mix of ignorance and narcissism all rolled up into one.

Because all first-world citizens are effectively targets of state surveillance?

The narcissistic "but I'M a target" shtick is pretty funny, but I'd wager you're just as foolish if you think those people "pretend" to be compromised.
