It's not privacy fatalism. I'm referring to the public internet, which is now mined and stored as input for AIs, if nothing else.

We can only speculate that data breaches will be used for such purposes eventually too.

The best you can get is E2EE communications. I find it ironic someone commenting on a text based public forum would argue this.

We may be talking about different things, but to me "all of the internet" means much, much more than the public internet.

There are quite a lot of steps between public data and E2EE.

I don't have any expectation of privacy here and know what I'm saying is public. On other sites/services I have privacy and know that what I'm saying isn't public.
