(Please don’t downvote just because I need some help.)

I was once a privacy nut. But it’s getting so hard nowadays, and there are so many more important problems – global warming, AI, the inevitable collapse of the current world order… how does privacy improve the world? Please help remind me.

I do approve of privacy, of course. All this protect-the-children flak is bullshit. I just can’t remember why I thought it was something worth fighting for and preaching about.

    Well said. Privacy shouldn’t be thought of as “all or nothing” but instead as a spectrum, because being completely private is practically impossible for most people and that mentality can lead you to not trying at all.
