 thx fren. unfortunately, i deal with people like this all the time. they give actual opsec/infosec professionals a bad name by spewing baseless fearmongering that really does nothing but scare people into apathy 
 I have very strong feelings about people giving security advice online, especially generalized advice. My faith in you was built by validating what you said through research and my own experience multiple times. So far, you’ve been batting 1000. 

I deeply appreciate that you take time to form context based on threat model of the individual, and explaining the tradeoffs between services honestly. 

One size fits all cybersecurity is worse than no cybersecurity imo. There are very few things (2FA over SMS is bad) that apply to everyone equally. 

Conspiracy theories are the worst though. That’s not even true information taken out of context - that’s just made up shit misleading people. 
 💯! well said. good on you for doing the research. and thank you for the complement
