It's not healthy being this paranoid. You're not being hunted by the government.
The whole point of using a VPN for privacy is because you are paranoid of your isp and government
Move that goal post a bit more. It's clear you haven't read up on how it's used all the time.
I'm not saying I or the average person on this forum needs to use these measures. The average person isn't hiding data or capable of hiding from the state completely. But do not advertise a commercial VPN as a tool to remain private from the state. It is a worthless tool unless the person on the other end is going to jail for you.
What goalposts? I just called you crazy. I for one don't think the government is that sophisticated or competent given everything else they've done :p
Again, stuff like this already happens. It's not a secret. Governments regularly compel commercial entities and put them under gag order.
Your ignorant comments are irresponsible. I suspect anyone actually hiding from the state already knows this.
