    Maybe not a great idea for some individuals to advertise their escape plans in open channels online?

    Honestly, the internet doesn’t feel “safe” anymore, in general. I’ve already stopped myself saying certain things a few times in the last 24 hours.

    “Great Firewall of China” style internet incoming.

    Put on your pirate hat and get while the gettings good. Sneakernets makin a comeback.

      Sure, advertising your secret plans in public might not be the best idea, regardles of the medium.

      From the technical standpoint, internet has never been more secure and private. The amount of plaintext shit that was literally flying over the air just a decade ago was terrifying.

      If it’s a good escape plan you might help someone. I mean as long as it doesn’t require concealment to succeed. And I guess a lot of plans like “find a job abroad” don’t really need to be kept secret.
