Is there any reason not to fight the privacy war on every front possible? The only way I would think one could fight a company with the resources of an entire nation state would be with as many nation states legal systems as possible.

- izacus 6y ago> Is there any reason not to fight the privacy war on every front possible? I guess the hard part of a privacy war is determining the line between desired features / convenience and protection of privacy. This line is (despite seeming so on HN) very blurry in reality. Typical example, Google Maps is commonly praised as the best navigation system because it can dynamically route around traffic based on their location data collection. Many people fighting the privacy war would demand that feature to be destroyed since it collects private data. Many people would consider that feature essential to their lives. Many people would perhaps want a better balance between those two extremes.
