I reserve the right to remain snide toward anyone who holds such insulting and condescending views toward "most people". Asserting civility, in such contexts as this one, is often used as nothing more than an excuse to avoid confronting your own antisocial behavior, however politely you manage to frame it.

The threat of cold and hunger comes before more abstracted threat vectors, and you are extremely lucky to have the mental space to consider and discuss such things as privacy on this here website. If you want to ride high on your sense of innate superiority, accept for yourself the mission you seem to imply for the technologically-literate and make privacy so simple even a small child could be protected.
