    no offense intended but

    lately, the articles about lack of privacy being the downfall of murderers and dictators… it’s killing my enthusiasm for privacy

    i won’t give up on privacy… its just starting to feel gross… learning lessons from ppl who ought to suffer.

    edit: everyone replying to me seems to misunderstand catastrophically. “losing enthusiasm” does NOT mean quitting privacy. i will never quit privacy. i have ANXIETY ABOUT LOSING PRIVACY. DON’T reply to me to convince me about privacy. i am a privacy evangelist.

    my original comment was intended to say: “hey privacy advocates! stop posting articles about murderers and genocidal autocrats!”

      I get what you’re saying and agree in some ways. But, I shared an apartment with a friend, we argued about ‘I have nothing to hide’ . he went away for a few days and I removed the (shared) bathroom door.

      When he got back

      > hey, where’s the door?

      > I thought you had nothing to hide?

      > I just want a little privacy…

        that bathroom door analogy is brilliant - privacy isnt about hiding crimes, its a basic human need just like we need doors on our bathrooms and passwords on our accounts.

          Yeah, it’s not about doing anything illegal. It’s just that I feel like people should be able to do things that aren’t public.

          The comment I was replying to is of the opinion that no one should post about negative aspects of privacy.

          I don’t believe that.
