As weird as the title sounds, my family really dislikes me using Tuta and not Gmail. Is your family also like this?
“Come on, Sarah, can’t you just be normal and use Gmail like everyone?”
- my mom, scolding me.

my mental health was questioned so there’s that.
my explaination about surveillance capitalism and what possibilities corporations have to spy on us fell on deaf ears and raised concern. i got called “paranoid” and also “stupid”
My answer is that I have a degree in CS and I work on the field. I know what I’m talking about. I literally work in the massive data processing field (not tracking, bank data but still).
“No, they are not listening to me through the microphone of my phone. They don’t need to, that’s the scary part.”
That’s the one I don’t get. Everyone wants to say they listen over the mic. But it has never been proven by anyone. They don’t want to admit they have so much data and we are not as unique as we want to think and can predicted us. And confirmation bias. You’ve seen the ad before but was background noise. Then you talk about it and you see it.
Well, my mother associates that with my anxiety and stuff.
