I wasn't around (or even alive :/) way back when the internet was in its infancy, but it sounds like it was magical. 

But please never be complacent. When you stop speaking up about issues you care about, or you stop doing anything due to the fear of retaliation, or anything like that, you've lost and the government has won. Never be complacent

I wasn't talking too far back.

I came online just as that fun was dying out but I did get to experience it some.

 

The government was never really a concern for me personally.

 

I just meant it used to feel like a secret internet world online and it was fun.

Now it's just the same world online as off line and the fun is gone.

Like somebody tore down the building and made it into a public town hall.

I use to care about privacy a long time ago. I would use add-on like better privacy which would delete all cookies after closing firefox and ghostery to block trackers as well as never remembering history. Didn't do much as there was much more I could have done as mentioned in your post.

 

I stopped doing it because it's such a hassle to remember and retype emails and user names every time I open my browser! Even when I missed the password. I also don't care if they know I like to watch lesbian cat porn. I'm not an interesting person.

Please know this though, if you ever find yourself some how an enemy of the U.S. they will look into all your data. All of it. And run smear campaigns against you.

 

I also remember when google+ was a thing and I was active on it I posted a comment on some post basically quoting julian assange that "the government and Google work hand in hand to spy on you" I'm not sure if that's the exact quote, however some guy thought I was conspiracy nut. XD then like a year later edward snowden leaked the prism program. Guys, when that shit was big news, a lot of people didn't even care and we're oblivious to what NSA gathers. Complete computer illiterates.

do i put -snip- here or is that done by a mod? I don't know??? lol

I've been doing the exact same things, but the problem is I rely wayy to much on google services for school, as well as I haven't been able to find a good email client that also works on IOS, and I am basically forced to use my phone more often because my current computer isn't the greatest.

That's a shame. I've transitioned from gmail to protonmail, and I don't even log onto my google account much to watch youtube. I'm slowly transitioning away from all the bad shit.
