hot take that isn't actually hot:

the difference between conservative privacy advocates and actual privacy advocates is a threat model.

theirs only boots up when the surveillance is pointed at them.

you can test this in real time. mention data brokers selling location data to immigration enforcement and watch the principled fourth amendment stance just... evaporate.

because here's the thing -- mass surveillance doesn't give a fuck about your politics. it gets aimed at whoever the state decides to target next.

privacy rights that don't extend to the most vulnerable people in the room aren't privacy rights - they're a fucking vibe.
