Ever noticed how they always bring up the threat model discussion whenever someone asks for or provides a serious privacy and anonimity advice and they try to persuade us to lower our expectations and use less private tools, but never the other way around?

I have yet to see a single thread where someone with a low threat model is told that their threat model doesn't make sense and that they should try to put some effort into avoiding NSA/feds/actual adversaries and not just "surveillance capitalism".

This is a psyop to make us stop caring about avoiding actual surveillance.

Stop threat modeling. Always try to achieve the best possible privacy and anonimity.
