• Government agencies like NSA or GCHQ aren't typically monitoring average citizens
• The real collectors of your data are tech companies like Google, Meta, and Microsoft
• These companies track "personally identifiable behavior" rather than just personal information
• Americans' identities have been stolen at least three times on average
• Stolen data gets sold in criminal marketplaces, often resulting in fraudulent charges
• When suspicious charges appear, don't automatically request new cards—verify with your bank instead
• Secure messaging apps like Signal and Telegram offer reasonable protection for communications
• The concept of "free speech" online remains complex and context-dependent
• Blockchain technology, while innovative, has serious energy consumption and scalability issues
• Critical thinking is essential—verify information from multiple sources before believing it
• The digital world requires a new mantra: "Trust nothing. Verify at least twice"
