Privacy is a human right.

[uncanny_creature@mastodon.social]

@trogluur That doesen't mean squat when every government will always be incentivized to ignore it. It's in name only. You can't actually have a right to privacy. It's impossible. What I said earlier is the best and most logical thing you can get.

@uncanny_creature

You can't choose privacy if there's no right to privacy, mate.

@trogluur

[okuna@social.tchncs.de]

@Tutanota amen

[okuna@social.tchncs.de]

@GOKUSHRM @Tutanota me too

[uncanny_creature@mastodon.social]

@xepia_ @trogluur

Seems like you can't choose privacy anyway.

[xepia_@social.bau-ha.us]

@uncanny_creature

No debate there.

@trogluur

[uncanny_creature@mastodon.social]

@xepia_ @trogluur

It also seems like we've all chosen the path of more privacy anyway, by being here, regardless of the right. Which again, shows that it doesn't matter if it exists.

[xepia_@social.bau-ha.us]

@uncanny_creature

Have we?

[uncanny_creature@mastodon.social]

@xepia_

In a way, yes. By being here on mastodon

[xepia_@social.bau-ha.us]

@uncanny_creature

Agreed. But, like you said, this option depends on governments permitting Mastodon and not raiding instances.

@uncanny_creature
Privacy is defined within most constitutions in democratic countries. So it should be guaranteed.
@Tutanota

[trogluur@social.linux.pizza]

@uncanny_creature yeah so we have the right but it's not always respected. That doesn't take away the fact that it is a right, right?

[enmark@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Thank you, captain obvious

[archivescribe@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota This!

[gokushrm@mastodon.social]

@uncanny_creature @Tutanota privacy should be default untill we don't want to expose it to anyone. That's the human right. If privacy shouldn't be default thn why are u at Mastodon. Why not use FB X insta tiktok and let them track you whatever u do by Trackers. The reason u are here coz u also want privacy from big tech companies

[manul70@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota Not for the French government.

[cyphercryptic_reboot@defcon.social]

@Tutanota privacy ia the foundation of all other Rights.

[cherry_brave@mastodon.social]

@Tutanota What we’re actually after isn't just privacy, but the right to choose. It means I should be able to choose whether or not to show you my information, rather than having a bunch of people flaunting my private data in front of me and causing massive issues for my personal safety. A long time ago, when many IRC clients didn't have privacy mode enabled by default, hardly anyone made a fuss about it.
