You seem to be arguing from the position that people in these villages were good to each other, and that bullying wasn't a thing. You clearly never lived in a small town.

Not at all.

> They have the information to know whether that getting out would be good or bad for you, whether you'd like that information to be disclosed.

Nowhere did I state that they will necessarily act benevolently. The fact is that they have a choice.

At a large scale that decision making process doesn't exist. Your actions become 'data'.

You can move away from bad roommates or out of your village. You can't move out of the world.
