Indeed, everybody has secrets, so what's the big deal? If everybody's secrets were out, then it would just become the new normal.
I think the privacy war is as winnable as the war on terrorism. It's better to figure out how best to build a post-privacy world then to cling to old unachievable ideals.
Maybe we can get a semblance of privacy by flooding the system with so much data, real and fake, that it requires real detective work to dig up reliable information about someone.
- lostlogin 10y agoDo you draw your curtains? Close doors? Close the toilet door? Do you wear clothes on a hot day? Do you leave bank statements out when friends are coming? Do you have performance appraisals publicly? Do you mind if everyone sees every email/text you ever sent? Would you be happy if your doctor saw you and treated you in the waiting room? Humans have an inherent desire for privacy a lot of the time where I am.

So you predict that after some date in the future, that no one will ever commit an act of terror again forever till the end of time? I think you don't understand either of the two concepts you're equating.
