gollark: Can't it also scrape ones you post in a server it's monitoring?
gollark: Stuff like which servers you're on is in the weird area of "semi-public information" - there's probably a better name for that but I don't know it - which you can gather pretty easily and cheaply, but which is also not really meant by whoever manages it to be exposed that way.
gollark: *Of course* they didn't just go away. Oh well...
gollark: If I had to really securely communicate with someone I'd probably try and meet them in person to exchange public keys or something.
gollark: I'm also relatively confident the government doesn't have my *exact* internet history and whatnot, as that's spread over a bunch of sites and details like exactly which site I'm connecting to and which page on it are encrypted now.
