The use of "offline-born" in this article is very disconcerting and seems to express something of a "superior-us vs. inferior-them" mentality. While I agree with the majority of the article and the need to preserve the right to privacy, calling a large group of people "offline-borns" and equating their actions with theft and rape is dehumanising and should not be considered acceptable!

- alexjeffrey 13y agoTo quote: “This old lady is giving some of her money away for free to charities she picks. Obviously, she doesn’t care to keep her money, so it can’t possibly be a big deal that we take the rest of her money without giving her a say about it.” “These people are having sex with a lot of people. Obviously, they don’t mind having sex with other people, and that gives me the right to have sex with them, by force if necessary.” If these two statements come across as shockingly arrogant to you as an offline-born, then you need to learn and understand that the first statement, which treats privacy as up for grabs, is perceived exactly as shockingly arrogant to the net generation. maybe privacy invasion and theft can be compared against each other, but bringing rape into the equation as if it somehow sits on the same level is ridiculous.
