>I decided that the best response to privacy disappearing was not to become attached to it, not to rely on it. So if there was anything I was considering doing where if it became public I would be hurt, I wouldn't do it. ...and this is indeed where all this privacy destruction leads: people changing their behavior first, their words second, and finally, their thoughts. Isn't it universally accepted that free societies breed innovation and repressive ones stagnate and wither? Isn't it clear that mass privacy violation will lead to a global repressive society? Some form of rebellion is essential for citizens to overcome repressive societies. Repressive societies empowered by the kinds of surveillance that technology enables at scale will become nearly impossible to rebel against. Following this train of thought, it seems that privacy destruction is potentially an existential threat to humanity. When I came to this conclusion, I decided that my personal act of rebellion was to leave my high paying tech career to work in the non-profit space promoting peace for 1/5 the income. I have never been happier. I am doing my little part and that makes it easier to not worry about this insanity.
