- bicubic 9y agoIf you need privacy then self censor? One of the core reasons for privacy is to prevent censorship in all forms.
- manigandham 9y agoOr use different tools that are built for it. Twitter is a public broadcast system, there is no privacy there.
- mobilefriendly 9y agoSure there is, you can publicly broadcast anonymous speech-- a cornerstone of free speech tradition.
- manigandham 9y agoPrivacy != anonymity. If you want your communications to be private, by definition you should not use a public broadcast system to do it. Twitter is also pseudo-anonymous at best.
- intopieces 9y agoHow’s that? The tradition of free speech has been standing on a public square and announcing your views or attending a public meeting with officials to tell them how you feel about their policies. The concept of privacy itself is very young, and the idea of anonymous speech even younger. Can you point to some anonymous speech traditions in the US or elsewhere ? Also, Twitter is not anonymous.
- mathgeek 9y agoAnother of the traditions of free speech is publishing under a pseudonym.
- intopieces 9y agoYes. Everyone needs privacy, so everyone self censors. To what degree depends on your tolerance for risk.
