@bonifartius They are correct in a sense that all of these don't constitute typical human behavior. Most people I know don't bother hiding what they do online and are apathetic to sane security practices, like using secure E2E messaging apps.
However, while there is some overlap with privacy & security minded folks and terrorists (as weird as that is) I doubt you'll see them using burner phones or frequently changing their SIM cards, or developing cover stories, etc.
It is a matter of conditioning people to become more obedient. Paint "them" (people who oppose the oppression) in the most negative light possible to ensure that such groups don't grow because what they say and do is rational, moral and legitimate. Unlike the jackboot gang we call the authorities.
@niclas @dusnm
to expand on the burner phones & SIMs: there is no easy way to get an anonymous phone in germany(/ the EU?), all while _every fucking major online service_ wants a phone verification. makes it easier to apply the jackboots on the correct necks, even if they already know anything anyway as per snowden. if people give that away willingly, it's good plausible deniability.
