(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.

    Efficient activism will make you a target for law enforcement.

    …And privacy – better known as OPSEC, in this context – is a big part of how you defend yourself.

    In other words, privacy is important because all those “more important problems” are dependent on it!
