We haven't ever lived in a world where not being "privacy-conscious" in a social setting could mean any of the following if that privacy is compromised by a corporation:
- Someone constructed a whole fake online presence using my data
- Someone used generative AI to make fake photos and videos of me doing things
- Someone has access to my bank accounts and all of my personal communications
- ...
We used to think of privacy as something that exists between people. Now we think of it as something that is mediated by corporations.
I have never heard of the second interpretation. The second sentence should in my opinion rather be: "Now we think of it as something that is violated by corporations."
You can’t have conversation in your community without them being public either. Saying anything in discord is just as public as on the middle of a busy shopping street.
Sometimes there are communities in these spaces - NUMTOTs or small Discord servers. Other times its just marketing foo foo.
