My name is unique enough that a Google search gives you some information about me, but given that all of that information is public record and there are no traces of me on social media, ever, I don’t worry too much about it. I just enjoy my privacy and work hard to maintain it. That means maintaining an enterprise-class server, software licensing, and all of the electricity bills associated with it.

You attempted to reach www.eff.org, but the server presented a certificate issued by an entity that is not trusted by your computer’s operating system...

Oh, that's amusing. Your browser is implicitly suggesting that someone might be trying a man-in-the-middle attack on you. Are you at an airport or some other public place? I constantly have to guard against government controlled access points trying to compromise my certificate chains so they can sniff all my traffic. However browser distributions are onto this tactic and will usually give you an opportunity to say, hey wait a minute here...

You have nothing to fear if you haven’t done anything wrong

Who gets to define "wrong"?
