Yes I am for real and I genuinely don't see why either of those things are bad.

Well your employer probably doesn't want you to leak work to competitors. You probably don't want your employer to know that you have cancer, are hiding a fling, and could soon have family problems requiring you to take a leave of absence.

  Personally I'm not convinced by those arguments, because - I think it should be my right to share the details of my work with anyone. - It's already illegal to discriminate against people because they have cancer, and I don't think that imperfect enforcement of privacy on the internet is going to significantly affect anyone's chances of this happening to them. - If someone does something and faces consequences for it, I don't think that's a bad thing. Honestly seeing people's responses here and elsewhere on the internet is kind of a Kafkaesque experience for me because everyone seems so convinced that internet privacy is valuable yet no one seems to actually have thought through their position (no offense to you personally). I guess I can only conclude that my base values differ in this area.

    > I think it should be my right to share the details of my work with anyone. I agree! So why are you letting third parties get that information without you having any ability to provide or decline consent? > It's already illegal to discriminate against people because they have cancer, and I don't think that imperfect enforcement of privacy on the internet is going to significantly affect anyone's chances of this happening to them. You think people don't do things that are illegal? > no one seems to actually have thought through their position Can you explain that better? > I guess I can only conclude that my base values differ in this area. I think that much is clear.

    - your work is not yours if done for others. It is theirs. You get the paycheck in return. - it is also illegal to steal from homes. Do you lock your front door?

    It's like saying, "I guess my base beliefs (or whatever bullshit you said) makes me believe that you are cunt. I don't know how else to say it." Yeah what a shit argument and a failure to society you are
