I like the NOYB tag. It is time that we spiced up our vocabulary
around privacy and its abuse. In British parlance being a "nosey
parker" or "busybody" is a polite term. "None of your business"
carries a nice tone of reproof to surveillance creeps. Mainly because
they literally profit from (make a business of) snooping. NOYB feels
properly assertive and formal enough without being rude. That said, I
don't feel much need to refrain from being rude to snoops and creeps
since they're already engaged in unacceptable anti-social, behaviour.
