Whatever happened to privacy?

Well that’s mostly the argument (as I see it).

As in, privacy is not secrecy. Privacy is the politeness of our neighbours, not their ignorance. Do we think people will stop being polite for cash. Of course which is why now we need (solution X/Y/Z)

In general, my (personal) take is simple - if you aren’t willing to say something with your name on, don’t say it. The usual exceptions are

- free speech (you are free from political consequences, just not social ones. If you live in an unfree society, tech is not the problem)

- mistaking secrecy for privacy

- liking anonymity because it frees us from social consequences

(I am not trying to strawman anyone, and honestly interested)
