Depends on your threat model... What do you think could cause problems while traveling through Europe in your opinion?
I know Europe is probably like the best place for digital privacy, but at the same time for me it's unsettling to see that some of the European cities are the most surveiled cities in the world, and how even countries in Europe are trying to ban e2e encryption
Add the 5-9-14 eyes, strict anti piracy rules in some countries, stories about people getting arrested for messaging something, or doing something political, and you will get a pretty grim picture
My main problem with this, I don't like being surveiled, nobody needs to have a thread model against being surveiled, because this is just nuts
Probably my stand is a little bit radical, I usually don't carry a sim card, use Lora for a remote access to my home server, I would never go to the land of free or use any of their services, same with the land of China
Come to Italy then. Our services don't give a fuck unless you're actually a terrorist.
And you can pirate all you want with no repercussions.
A lot of this CCTV is just in shops and stuff, not necessarily the government. Not much you can do about that, itβs just culture.
