A world without privacy is also a world without intimacy, without individuality, without diversity, and without democracy.

A world without privacy is also a world without intimacy, without individuality, without diversity, and without democracy.
Certain politicians have clearly expressed they want a world without privacy.
We cannot let them have it passively. We must fight back for our rights. Now.
Or we will lose them.

We need to make it as difficult as possible for the billionaires and the government institutions they've captured to follow us.Little things, like using a Linux build instead of garbage "Software-as-a-Service" corporate AI nets. Using, promoting, and funding FOSS alternatives to the SaaS corporate models, and moving as much of our activity (and money) as we can to the fediverse.
Little things we can all do. We know the world is going to shit--any little thing helps.

"what do you have to hide?" is the wrong question.
"what would I like to share?" nothing.
"What made you deserve knowing?" is my instinctive reaction, followed by "or is that something you have to hide?"

@Em0nM4stodon They only want a world without privacy for us. They’d be quite upset if we proposed the same scrutiny for them.
As shown by Bezos 30 foot hedges he pays $1000 dollars in fines each month for and the servants passages his house has.

@monkeyben @Em0nM4stodon Yeah, that’s the thing with absolute fines, past a certain point people just don’t notice them. One advantage the GDPR has, for any other faults.

@Em0nM4stodon How do we reconcile our desire for privacy with the need to be seen in an attention-based economy? I asked Richard Stallman this question and he had no answer for me.

@Em0nM4stodon Those same politicians get indignant when THEY are the ones being surveilled.
-
Politicians and billionaires want a world without privacy for us but not for them.
They consider themselves above everyone else.

@Em0nM4stodon Thank you! I have an old thread from
I should dig up and republish about that: how lack of privacy destroys intimacy, by making it impossible to talk with the people you want that intimacy with because you're always considering what others who are listening in will do with the knowledge of your conversations. -

@monkeyben @Em0nM4stodon I’m actually thinking maybe doubling the fine each time, for something like this (Bezos and trees he shouldn’t have). He’ll happily ignore the first $1000, even maybe the first year up to two million. Midway through the second year, when it’s up to $131 million, he might notice. End of year two, at $8 billion, I’m sure he would.

@Em0nM4stodon Unplugging and moving to a cabin in the woods is preferable to living in a digital panoptican and I like technology.

"Too many wrongly characterize the debate as “security versus privacy.” The real choice is liberty versus control. Tyranny, whether it arises under threat of foreign physical attack or under constant domestic authoritative scrutiny, is still tyranny. #Liberty requires #security without intrusion, security plus #privacy. Widespread police surveillance is the very definition of a police state. And that’s why we should champion privacy even when we have nothing to hide."
