I just think the privacy crowd is mostly wackos that believe in the privacy fairy, that’s all 🤷 Taking tons of measures to not have their data seen by others but still participating in public forums… If your privacy is so important then stay offline.
Is it really so obscene to be willing to share one thing and not share another?
When you go into work, you may share your music taste or hobbies. But you do not tell everyone your sexual preferences and kinks. That itself is exercising your right to privacy. If you go on my profile you can find my music taste or political beliefs, but do you know what porn I have looked at or even if I have looked at it? You don’t. What happens when the advertiser now has access to everything you have clicked or even just slowed your scroll speed to just take a glimpse at?
You mistake (best case scenario) a desire for privacy with perfect anonymity. It is perfectly sane to wish to engage in public discourse without being milked by ad companies. The fact that most platforms make this stupidly difficult is no reason to dismiss everything we say as nonsense. Do get a grip, please.
