“Either Internet or Privacy
(Cybersecurity 101, Sonnet)
The purpose of a strong password
is not to keep your accounts safe,
but to keep your accounts moderately
secure against common scammers, however,
if you become a target of actual hackers,
or a person of interest to the government,
have no doubt, your internet
activities are already monitored.
Paranoia of cybersecurity only ruins sanity,
it does nothing to establish security.
No technology that's connected
to the internet is unhackable,
either you can have internet or privacy.
So, don't post family pictures online,
keep your passwords moderately complex,
refrain from consentless content,
cloud is the last place to be private.”
