Conservative is the wrong word there
Not really. People who use the apps are trying to preserve (conserve) the time when privacy wasn't an afterthought. It's not working, but they're sure trying.
You have no clue.
What I mean is that privacy is no longer mainstream. The software shown does work but the majority of people don't use it or don't even know what it is.
Ah, sorry, my bad.
Conservationists are not the same as conservatives.
The only thing that conservatives are trying to conserve is their own privilege and impunity.
It's using the word conservative in its literal definition, rather than the definition it's been given by some that incorrectly use it to describe their beliefs.
The word they're looking for is "Facist"
