Re: food for thought
"Indeed. I sometimes wonder if, rather than just paranoia, the people who make such a fuss about their data being visible/tracked, actually have a greater sense of self-worth than is actually appropriate?"
Nice misdirection, although I have heard this one before. :)
I cannot understand how this idea makes any sense.
Privacy is nothing to do with self-worth !!!
People who want their medical records kept secret do not have an excessive sense of self-worth.
People who do not want 'Big Brother' to know where they go and what they do 24/7 also do not have a self-worth problem.
BTW, it isn't paranoia either !!!
I would ask you to justify the value, to you and I, of giving up our Privacy.
Notice the word 'our', that is the perspective that I have about Privacy, it is not 'self' but everyone.
I value the worth of everyone's privacy !!!
