More importantly. I’m gonna use these screenshots, that could easily have been modified, as the basis for my entire understanding of “privacy versus security”. Without reviewing any of the sources.

I believe Abraham Lincoln summed it up in that famous meme: “If it’s a quote on a picture on the internet, it’s gotta be true”

Lol. I don't care whether a Nazi said the quote, but they make good arguments besides for that

Ah, but dont forget Ghandi's famous quote.

"If a man posts a meme, surely his whole world view is encapsulated in it. For truly I say to you, no human can have depth beyond a joke that they make."

But then again, maybe you and Ghandi are just making assumptions as shallow as the jokes you are mocking.

No but you see I, a stranger on the internet, agree with the message of the post. Therefore, it must be correct, as one is unable to lie on the internet lest their shins be removed by the cyberpolice.
