MODERATORS
I fight for privacy to protect myself.
Now, what am I protecting myself from? I don't think anyone is going to come arrest me for what I do. I don't think any big companies are going to leak my data and embarrass me. I don't think anyone is going to compromise my bank and drain my funds.
I am protecting myself from being influenced by advertising and targeted news.
I am protecting my thoughts and feelings, because in the end, that's all that really matters. I don't want to need the next toy, or jump on a bandwagon. I don't want to see advertising and I don't want a carefully crafted worldview pushed on me.
Well said! I am in this camp 👩🏼💻 I also don’t want my data being sold off without my consent.
