Really? Looking around America right now(or any other fascist nation for that matter) you can't think of a single other reason why someone might want to hide electronic communications to the extent of not being recoverable?

Destroying the data on your hard drive only helps you if you think that files stored on it could incriminate you in court. ICE isn't sending your laptop in to a special forensics technician at DHS HQ to pull the 1s and 0s off of it to generate a justification for abducting and/or shooting you. Standard end to end encryption is plenty enough for online communications

ICE grunts are not the only threat of fascism.

Do you maybe want to try and converse? Instead of leaving a vague response hinting at a deeper perspective, how about you actually share that perspective? Who else do we have to fear at present, and how do you reckon rendering a file on your computer irrecoverable would protect you from them?

By my reckoning, if you live under a government that would arrest you for excercizing speech, you're well beyond fucked by the time they seize your computer

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
