The only people who can afford privacy are the ones shouting the loudest that we all have an inalienable right to keep shit secret, while they quietly tap our phones, bank accounts, cryptocoin wallets, and new media.
Those criminals may have de facto privacy. And?
The criminals in power have privacy. The rich who can pay have privacy.
Those below the median income have none.
I am inherently suspicious of privacy and anonynmity advocates because they are at best not realizing the threat model, and at worst are working for the criminals in power.
