   One thing we keep getting wrong: Privacy is a *human* right. Not a corporate right. Not a government right.

   Corporations and governments, tools that – in theory at least – exist to serve the people, must be transparent and accountable.

   Instead, today, we have the opposite: We give corporations and governments privacy and expect absolute transparency from everyday people. That’s broth for fascism.
