giving. security. advice. to. someone. without. understanding. their. threat. model. is. dangerous. and. unethical.
if you’re going to blame humans for not fitting into the use cases of your favorite toys, do everyone a favor and go back to hackernews and stop trying to give #infosec advice to real folks.
we have to meet people where they are, and sometimes those places aren’t ideal. maybe they have an abuser with physical access, or just can’t afford an iOS device. They still deserve privacy.
