      Wait, hol’up, please tell me it’s because of some socioeconomic reason, not because everyone around you just defaults to phones and tablets. Please.

        The… second one.

        Entire fam and friend circle is okay with paying for things. They have no sense of privacy to remove, and believe any alternative would be too conveluted for a bunch of mobile users to reliably depend on, and they’re complerely right.

        With zero computer experience, there is no way out. The learning curve is a sheer cliff.

        Nothing, not even TOR or i2p would help, their entire OS is backdoored, as is anyone’s on stock software.

          Oh that’s easy, unless they’re rich. Costs are gonna keep going up and at some point they’ll start asking questions about cliff climbing. 😄
