But why would you tell me to read an entire book when all I want is one tidbit of information. One or two words would have been enough, but instead they boasted that they know a lot about the topic and basically said “It’s not my job to share information with you.”
Sometimes we need to read books/web pages to understand things. This is a pretty complex subject and while our friend above was asking for a privacy friendly alternative (which in this situation I’m not even sure how you summarise into a few words tbh), the poster answered by saying go read work from the EFF. They’re a great resource and great explainers, and they’ve written extensively on this topic.
Idk, should everyone be given the answers to everything, or is telling someone how to find the answer not okay? I’m of the opinion its necessary when a topic is difficult.
Admittedly, they could have said that as well, but I think it was clear the person asking isnt operating in good faith given their response to me. They’re a troll.

It’s inane.
