I’m new to this privacy thing, besides getting a vpn and tor. With this thing of ICE deporting people for simply having differing opinions, I’m paranoid. Is there anything I can do to avoid that happening to me? I’m not an immigrant nor do I look like one or sound like one, but it could reach to other people too. I am a woman and part of the lgbtq+ community. I’ve already deleted my pronouns and bios showing support for Ukraine, Palestine, and showing hate towards N*zis, I’m now wondering if I should delete my accounts altogether. I’m not entirely sure how to use tor or of any other method, I have experience with Nord though. Thanks.
Totally get why you’re doing that but you’re also giving them exactly what they want.
Plus they absolutely had the contents that’s been deleted anyway. See PRISM.
Sure, but speaking as someone with a lot of knowledge of IT systems, RPO, RTO, etc., I can say that the RPO of deleting your accounts gets worse and worse for the NSA or whoever to keep track of as time goes on.
They’re not the internet archive where they’ve got snapshots of all text ever said on the web. They’ve got crawlers and systems and storage tiers same as anyone else. They have to cycle those backups of their snapshots at some point, and that’s when you can eventually slide your way out of their window as long as the things you’ve said or done are no longer on the internet anywhere. They will eventually disappear from databases and systems like PRISM.
