Whenever people start talking about "opsec" and it's not people doing sensitive work I'm just like "what ops?"
The op of trying to not get your entire family's conversations sold to the lowest bidder to be exploited for scams, insurance price gouging, "dynamic pricing", etc... I guess.
It is important for regular people to protect their privacy so that those at risk are among good company. Otherwise, anyone trying to maintain privacy is obvious and suspicious.
Browsing lemmy is my op
Operation: Thanksgiving with Gam Gam
I use encryption whenever I can not so They can't see my ops, but so that the encrypted comms of people who actually do need opsec are less suspicious.
Indeed, it makes everyone safer. Especially with all the fascism going around people who are completely innocent of any more genuine wrongdoing could still be kidnapped by Ice based on the color of their skin or because they exercise their free speech rights in ways that in decades past would have been respected. The government has gotten less trustworthy and corporations never really were trustworthy so everyday people have the right to protect themselves
The stuffing recipe is fire

Gotta keep that green bean casserole recipe safe! The world can't know the secret of a can of cream of mushroom!
Does it matter what you call it? Is it okay to be spied on and your data collected just because you are not working on anything "sensitive"?
Indirectly it matters because it means you're regurgitating talking points instead of thinking about the tradeoffs between privacy and keeping your family talking to each other.
