- kazagistar 7y agoAgreed. Privacy should be right for the everyday person, and not a right for the powerful, who should have no right to privacy. Progressive rights make a lot of sense in a context where people with power can take a right that is helpful in most contexts and twist it to increase their personal power and harm others.
