- AussieWog93 5y agoI don't think the new account was actually arguing against privacy (those words have basically become a strawman now); rather it was just a bit of dry humour.
- Pooge 5y agoI just reread the comment and maybe you are right. I don't know if he edited the comment or if I misread when I wrote my reply, but I didn't see the word "goes". So I read "I believe the argument [...]".
- charcircuit 5y ago>What is going on with those new accounts preaching against online privacy recently? From my experience (as I prefer freedom of information) if you are against privacy you tend to get downvoted. I think downvotes can lead to your account being rate limited which is annoying so it makes sense that people would want to use another account.
