The people who are so worried about their privacy should consider how George R.R. Martin protects his Game of Thrones novels from piracy by using an old DOS based machine THAT ISN'T CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. It would certainly be a different election campaign if the managers of Hillary Clinton's campaign and members of the DNC staff hadn't felt so foolishly free to just share whatever was on their mind in e-mails that have been hacked.
And that's nothing compared to the idiots who put their entire life and that of other people on their Facebook and Twitter and other accounts. I think it should be a rule that anyone who prattles stuff about online privacy but who let it all hang out online are too stupid to listen to. The idea that online communications are secure and private is sheerest stupidity.
If Hillary Clinton becomes president, I hope one of the first things she does is to ban members of her administration from discussing both important information and their personal lives and opinions online. I hope she and the DNC have learned something about how obvious targets for hackers, domestic and, especially, foreign, shouldn't do what they've done in the past. And don't for a second believe that everyone you can think of who might be won't be trying to hack all of them looking for stuff to sandbag her with.
