You're locked into those platforms if you use built-in password managers. Personally I don't like the idea of Google or Apple having all my data by using their proprietary password managers.

At this point NOT using a password manager is absolutely insane from a security perspective. Password managers not only make your life easier, but if you use them correctly, you can setup each service with its own dedicated and complex password. Good luck doing that without one!

Privacy is a human right not a nice to have. If this somehow passes, they cannot enforce it as long as you can still create a VPN tunnel.

Sounds like the gov are either delusional or do not understand how the internet works. Probably a bit of both!

Unfortunately, money is the only language leaches like Spez understand. So for that reason, fuck Reddit and Spez all together.
