Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but are you advocating for people to make as many details of their life open and transparent on the internet because we should have nothing to hide?

- nunyabuizness 11y agoI think he's proposing that it's not privacy that's the problem, but society's laws and morality that require us to use privacy to protect ourselves. If no one had to be punished under unjust laws for living a decent life transparently, why would privacy be beneficial?
- asntbqjkwbaoeuc 11y agoUnder your scheme, do workers in the military enjoy privacy while they work? If they don't how do you protect the citizens? If they do---and if they are the only people who enjoy privacy in your land of forced transparency---how does this not stabilize to a military dictatorship?

- miguelrochefort 11y agoYes. I'm advocating for people to make as many details of their life open and transparent on the Internet. Unfortunately, society is currently built in a way that coerces me into keeping secrets (i.e., private key encryption, credit card number, ridiculous laws everybody breaks because privacy makes it easy to conceal). I would much rather live in a society that's built in a way that I can be honest about myself and not lose everything in exchange. There is no debate that one needs to keep some secrets in today's society, but unlike most of you I believe this to be a necessary evil due to the current nature of the system, not something we should strive for in the long term by making privacy more accessible.
