lcalamar The discussion around "why should i care about online privacy" in my mind is immediately the wrong frame, the real discussion needs to start with the fundamental precep that we are all born equal, if you accept we are all born equal, then it follows we are all entitled to equal atonomy, responsibility, rights (access to resources) etc applied to privacy that means we either all have the right to know everything about everyone, or nothing about anyone... Im in the nothing about anyone camp, and every person, or entity that uses some form of power/advantage to take that right from me without consent is directly attempting to gain advantage over me though exercising control of my rights. Whether i have anything to hide has zero to do with why it is wrong. It is wrong because it is disrespecting my rights, and because i am not given the eqivalent level of transparency into those exercising the control.
