I mean, it has to be satire, they even said “iMessage” instead of text, meaning the guy super obsessed with privacy still uses an iPhone…
And still clearly uses it. Because that’s what the screenshot is from.
Are people taking that as an authentic conversation?
I overestimate people a lot, but I’m genuinely confused if I’m overestimating they hypothetical screenshot and people are dumb enough to be like that, or if I’m overestimating people who see it and can’t tell it’s an obvious joke…
This one was satire, I googled the account name and nothing they post is serious
I’m not doubting there are people who care about privacy but don’t know anything about it. But the account who made the twitter post, was making fun of those people.
They just didn’t put “/s”
And when a screenshot strips all context, it’s really hard to tell. Which is why I actually went to twitter, it’s the only way to be sure.
People need to stop taking things presented in a vacuum with zero context, as whatever they first assume it to be.

It’s the eternal quesion
no, but opsec people will genuinely act like this sometimes
I was curious enough to look at twitter…
That’s 100% a shit post account, absolutely nothing they post should be considered authentic:

I did chuckle at the one about “only negotiating with Dr Pepper himself” one tho.
But yeah, anybody that thought they were serious bit the onion
It’s a very thin line these days. It’s like trying to distinguish theonion vs nottheonion articles.

Yeah apparently you are (overestimating).
A guy named MK Ultra Victim posting obvious satire isn’t clear enough for a lot of Lemmy users, who’d rather pontificate against the parody.
