"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. ... We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy ... We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. ... Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and ... we're going to write it." Eric Huges, A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto (1993)

This war was lost a long time ago. Capitalism isn’t the answer, capitalism is the reason both the tech industry and legal industry paved the way for data, privacy, traffic and owned by big tech for them to solely monetize. People and their data are being farmed to work and create value for others and most are paid less than enough to keep food on their table and a roof over their head, once they no longer produce value they are shipped to the glue factory. It’s not a bug of capitalism, it’s a feature and big tech has optimized for it with data.
