Rather than downvoting, which I strongly want to do

The bootlickers don't bother leaving an explanation for their downvotes; you're under no obligation to operate on a higher moral plane to placate the demons who advocate for our subjugation.

The ones who stand the most to lose from the erosion of privacy in the public sphere are those in power. Power needs secrecy to survive. I brought up the case of kidnapping, but also of corporate corruption. Not to mention governmental. Yeah, losing privacy is going to suck in a ton of ways. But letting those in power dictate how we're going to lose it is a recipe for disaster. Because they will most certainly except themselves.
