Might sound a bit of a silly question. I see people talking about threat models, and privacy guides which say things like “if this is part of your threat model, do X Y Z”. I’m just not sure if it’s a general “this is what I want to protect myself against” or if there’s more to it.

      Yes, if you store sensitive info in your Google account and the government can compel Google to provide that info, which they don’t always do.
