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.
So please tell us, oh enlightened one, what is the threat model? Because I would say the exact same thing about those who badmouth privacy advocates and privacy itself: obviously those in power have vested interests in violating privacy, be it for monetary, or political gain. They have vested interests in convincing the unwashed masses that either "privacy is dead", "privacy is not needed" or "privacy is impossible". So that they can more easily spy upon us all, and so that it gets that harder for privacy-conscious people to maintain their privacy (as that is an ecology, if you do not maintain your privacy, information about you might help somebody to deduce information about me). I would say that the vested interest is more clear in the above than in what you stated. So please tell me, what do I not see, or (if I am "working for the man"), where's the cash that I must've gotten for my services over the years?.. -- Pozdr rysiek
