| ▲ | palata 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Sure. And if you say things privately you have chosen to have privacy. Which is very limited if you say your private things on a US service and don't feel like having the US randomly read them and deport you. That was my point, I'm happy to see that we agree :-). | | |
