It seems like nowadays between the pervasive ad (and non ad) surveillance network, how bad companies are with your info, and how corporations and gov entities will destroy you for things that are completely morally OK and probably legal, you basically have to live like a ghost or hunted criminal just to conduct yourself with any semblance of freedom.

For a project like this he honestly should have had the OPSEC of someone running a DNM. Sad times we live in.
