I love how you can instantly tell who's European by who is willing to exclude financial privacy from discussions of privacy and/or criticize absolute privacy altogether.

I'd imagine by your lack of geography knowledge and thinking every European country is super similar you're American then ?

But to the point, when you think about it, "financial privacy" in various forms of compelling to not discuss earnings has been by far most often used by corporations to underpay workers.

I’m glad we agree you oppose my privacy.

how exactly does it violate your privacy to be merely allowed (not forced) to discuss your salary?
Re:Privacy Is OK by alphanullmeric on Friday December 30, 2022 @12:24PM (#34187229)
Because you’re already allowed. Nobody comes knocking for an arrest when you tell your friend how much you make.

But…it seems people have been fired for disclosing how much they're paid? Some places, the employers have language in the contract banning it, and some of those some-places have courts that allow it.

Where are you being banned from discussing your salary? If I stop you from wearing shoes in my house I’m not making it illegal for you to wear shoes.
