Your honor, it looks like I did it because @garbage_world hacked into my account.

In a totally surveilled state, yeah you couldn't escape. But the victim would be still dead and it wouldn't have happened if their info was private.

Yeah but to be fair, I'm not the one posting with "Convince me otherwise" in the title ;)

Oh also, there may come a time when you change your mind and decide that you'd rather be more private than you are now. Since you're not 18 yet that's even more important, so even if you hate privacy, please know that you still need it in our world today. You do whatever you want as far as I'm concerned but strategicaly, it's best to not reveal as much PII as you have in other comments of this thread in the future. Not for right now, but for the future yourself. This IS an interesting theory to explore, but just in case it doesn't work out, please leave enough security for yourself to be able to change your mind.
