Almost everybody I know is firmly of the, “I don’t need privacy;

And more... they think YOU don't need it either. They are very happy giving away YOUR privacy along with their own.

I think most ppl honestly don't realize how corrosive it is, to a whole society, when privacy is completely lost.

It seems kinda like smoking? The cigarette today does not kill me tomorrow. But 10 more years, now I have cancer. I can't point to the exact single cigarette that caused that. It was a collective effect. The same with giving away privacy. It hurts us all, long term.

    so does mine. I share your doubts, because I believe at the end of the day these systems are built to help public officials evade accountability.

    its so much easier for a private company to fuck up and fine them for it(aka, cost of doing business) than any of the historical alternatives that pin accountability on our public institutions.
