Is infiltration & Paranoia in Techlore community?

Assuming what you mean is “are there people who are paranoid in the Techlore community?” then the answer is probably yes. Paranoid people tend to be drawn to privacy-enhancing behaviours for pretty obvious reasons. From my limited experience with the Techlore commonity, it does a pretty good job of pushing back on the worst excesses, but it’s just kind of a fact of the privacy “community” that it’s going to have a certain degree of weirdness.

I’m not Henry and I obviously cannot speak for him, but there’s a general principle that “you can’t leak what you don’t know”. So if you don’t trust Henry or his team not to be hit with various subpoenas and warrants etc, you can mitigate your exposure really easily by not linking any identifying information on this forum. Use an alias or throwaway e-mail, use Tor to access it, and don’t put any personal information on here which you wouldn’t mind being at least potentially public.
