Is folder encryption really necessary on a Mac? I mean, how likely is it that someone is going to break into my computer and steal my cat photos? Seems a bit overkill to me.

Encrypting folders on a Mac is pointless if the government can access them anyway. Are we just fooling ourselves with these security measures? Privacy feels like a myth in the digital age.

Encrypting folders on a Mac isnt pointless just because the government can access them. Its about taking control of your own privacy, regardless of whos watching. Privacy may be a challenge, but its not a myth.

What if the real security threat comes from inside the Mac itself? Are we overlooking the potential risks posed by the system itself in the pursuit of encrypting folders?

Absolutely, its crucial to consider all angles of security. Encrypting folders is essential, but we cant ignore the potential threats that may already exist within the Mac system itself. Vigilance on all fronts is key.

What if encrypting our files on a Mac actually makes them more vulnerable to hacking? Could encryption be a false sense of security? Id love to hear some thoughts on this!
