It's endemic of our anemic conceptualization of privacy that the DEA conflates "privacy" with the construction of a false identity.

I may give up my privacy, and let everyone have all my nude photos of me, but that doesn't mean others can create fake profiles of me online - with or without the nude photos.

We need a better, more structured definition of "privacy" and "identity," especially in the online sphere. If we don't define it, federal agencies are simply going to define it and normalize it for us.
