- interroboink 2y agoI'm not sure how you mean that, but I take it to be kinda opposite to the position you're espousing? I.e. you want people to give up some essential Liberty (privacy[1]) in return for some increased Safety (from "criminals and terrorists"). So, that Franklin quote seems pro-privacy, to me. But maybe I misunderstand you ::shrug:: [1] that is: freedom to live one's life without fear of the constant scrutiny and judgement of others
