Our technological security ("the cyber") is about to disappear

Our technological security (“the cyber”) is about to disappear. Here’s my thoughts on protecting yourself:
— Use Tor for browsing the Internet. — Only visit https domains. — Use a VPN for masking your traffic. — Always update your devices immediately. — Use two-factor authentication. — Encryption is a good thing - contrary to what you’ve heard. — Use a password manager. — Never reuse a password. — Use Signal for messaging. — Cover your webcam and disable your mic. — Use only authentic cables to connect devices. — Never plug any unknown USB flash drive into your computer. — Use Little Snitch to monitor network requests. — DO NOT trust the big companies like Facebook and Google. They must comply with government requests for information.
The last 16 years we gave the government unprecedented access to our devices and internet usage. We thought they would have our best interests in mind.
But now we have a squad of scared idiots with full access to everything we search, see, and say on the Internet.
I’m honestly afraid of even sharing this post.
