I've grown quite tired of the non-technical information privacy and security scene. It's a churn of politically and financially motivated misinformation. Prominent/respected community members are often the ones spreading misinformation and promoting scams without accountability.

It's exhausting dealing with fallout from misinformation confusing users and misleading them into making bad decisions. The endless attacks on projects doing useful work, unequivocal support for charlatans and lack of interest in truly making things better is very demotivating.

I've been focusing on other projects lately due to the consistent lack of support and the endless daily attacks on the work that myself and others are trying to do. I wake up every day with a bunch of notifications / messages caused by the endless cycle of attacks/misinformation.

I don't feel comfortable going to events like DEFCON due to the involvement of certain malicious people supported by the community. I certainly won't attend another Linux Security Summit. It would take a lot of effort for me to go to an event like this even before the hostility.

I don't see the point when people still support my former business partner and have been complicit in him stealing my identity and taking credit for my work. My Twitter account was wrongly handed over to someone doing everything in their power to harm me and no one seems to care.
