>The whole point of privacy is to not signal anything to anyone. No. The point of privacy is to signal only what I want to, and to people who I want to contact.

I am fine with my friends and family knowing about $PRIVATE_MATTER, I am not fine with my bank/shop/government/employer knowing about it.
