Some of us don’t have security as a high priority. I for example wouldn’t really mind if my computer’s entire contents were published at nytimes.com. What I care about right now is my kids getting to see their family over Zoom or whateverx


I think we’re probably at the point where it doesn’t matter what your personal threat model is: your insecurity affects everyone, so nobody has the luxury of not caring about it (much like vaccination against disease). It is a matter of collective and national security.


Why is it a matter of national security if my weekly beer meetup (to replace the pub) is watched over by some Chinese spy?
