Europe does the exact same thing. This is a global problem.
At this point I’ve accepted that if I want privacy, I have to use illegal means.
As in using chat applications that are e2e encrypted and don’t have backdoors.
don’t have backdoors
I’ve got bad news for you about hardware…
Some privacy is better than no privacy.
The Intel Management Engine may be able to bypass my computer’s firewall and have full access to my memory, but I can pull out the Ethernet cable and cut the power.
Also it’s easier to just exploit the keylogger in Windows I would imagine. At the very least make sure you don’t select the “express settings” (or whatever it’s called) in the Windows installer.
There’s a setting called something like “improve typing suggestions” that basically says it sends everything you type to Microsoft. They admit it has a preinstalled keylogger and has for a while.
If you care about privacy and are running Windows, you don’t care about privacy.
