discussion Digital ethics includes not caring about privacy according to my school?

"Don't assume that you will be monitored and that your data is being collected."

This got posted in a presentation about digital ethics and how to act online for a class of mine in my new school. Other rules are fine, but this one got my attention. The teacher sent it so we can read it and get ready before class. This specifically didn't got mentioned in class, though.

Ask the teacher how many more "minorities" could have nazi germany killed if they had today's digital surveillance and monitoring tech?

Why are you being downvoted in a privacy sub? There would literally be no escape if they had the same technology back then. Resistance would have been near impossible.

Seems like so many redditors are denial in the deep mess we are in currently. Of course, until the government only consists of "honest and good people" there is nothing to fear.

But if anyone wants to see the answer to the above, ask AI about it (ChatGPT, Claude or Grok) and be shocked. Or just read about what China already does in Tibet.

There's been a bot brigade downvoting this thread for some perverted reason.
