Lol. So who does "deserve" privacy your highness? I'm guessing you do at the very least since you seem so judgemental on those with an "incessant, insatiable need to broadcast their lives 24/7" - which you presumably do not.

You're pretty judgy and seem incapable of even conceptualising a nuanced position on this topic. And your take on Assange, Snowden and Appelbaum is clearly first order trolling.

Unless you forgot the /s at the end of your whole comment.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." [0]

I'm not sure how you mean that, but I take it to be kinda opposite to the position you're espousing?

I.e. you want people to give up some essential Liberty (privacy[1]) in return for some increased Safety (from "criminals and terrorists").

So, that Franklin quote seems pro-privacy, to me.

But maybe I misunderstand you ::shrug::

[1] that is: freedom to live one's life without fear of the constant scrutiny and judgement of others
