I really did assume this post was ironic. Worrying number of people here really concerned that Trump is going to come deploy Navy SEAL team six to their house for calling him a poopypants.

And he is a poopypants.

I think with the ease information can be found and used against you online, posts can be taken into evidence if you're arrested at a protest or something.

I think it's always good to practice good opsec, even if it's just changing your username or not saying something legally actionable when the people in charge of the legal system are given pretext to crackdown.

I personally don't think I post anything that's likely to be cracked down upon. But I still largely agree, and I think that's a far more reasonable concern and good reason to opsec, depending on what you're putting out there.
