  • Yeah. He addresses it without much of a response.

    And there’s good arguments to be made that my hotspot is still trackable. Plus some of the apps I keep aren’t great for privacy (like Duolingo, for example). Try as I might, there’s only so much “harm reduction” I can do, and I could certainly get more protection by doing more. But as I’ve written about before, privacy is a spectrum, not a binary state of being.

    He keeps a lot of crap that has user names and passwords. A VPN won’t really help with those.

    He also uses free public WiFi. It’s probably okay since a lot of phones have randomized MAC addresses now but with facial recognition, they can easily attach that address with your identity.













  • Being exclusive works really well. Like getting VIP access makes people feel important.

    It’s what made Facebook cool. When only selected schools were allowed to join, students, faculty, and staff felt important.

    I know they needed to grow, but keeping it just for college students would’ve kept its cool factor for a lot longer.
