minus-squareTaterTot@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-22 days agoEdit: I wrote a long rebuttal last night. Wasn’t sober. Woke up, read it, and thought: Ain’t nobody got time for that. So instead, just the core point: It’s not a stretch to say privacy protects both our legal rights and our willingness to access and share information. It is a stretch to claim that not recording and uploading everything I do in private will cause a “state of deformity and disease.” That’s not physics. That’s selling data collection as snake oil. It’s an attempt to justify a world view without examining it’s ramifications.
