Hey, I'm not telling the USGOV anything. I'm also pointing out that a lot of people have perfectly good reason to have default privacy level set to "full public", and it's neither weird or wrong. I responded to a HNer apparently bewildered by that fact.

I support you keeping whatever privacy level you like, but don't force me to hide things if I consciously, in full physical and mental capacity, decide I don't want to.
