>Maybe this is a sign that Internet is not worth my time anymore
It's not just the Internet. I'm French, and here, our government has been restricting our freedoms and invading our privacy at an increasing rate since the 2015 terror attacks. They recently passed a law that would allow them to remotely enable your smartphone's camera if you are under investigation. Encrypting your data is useless since they can legally put you in jail if you refuse to give them your encryption key. My country is slowly turning into an authoritarian shithole, and there is nothing I can do to stop it. Our healthcare system is broken, public education is raising a generation of idiots. The fact that over the last 40 years, our retirement system has been reformed every 4 years says a lot about what we are currently going through.

The worst thing is that people around me don't even seem to care about all of this, some of them even support it. I've seen so many people say that they trust the government and don't have to fear it since they haven't done anything wrong. Most of the time I'm just seen as a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist even though I have arguments to back my affirmations, unlike so many others. My mom for example always wears sunglasses when using her phone because she believes that they block harmful radiations.

One of the main reasons why normies don't care about privacy or freedom is because the media in France is almost entirely controlled by a few billionaires and independent newspapers are generally very left leaning. As far as I know, the only media outlet that reported on the EU's Chatcontrol project is NextInpact, which is an online newspaper targeted towards computer nerds.

Well, sorry for this disorganized rant, I hope I didn't waste too much of your time
