@blenderdumbass @tama I was in the middle of writing a long winded response, then realised I hadn't grasped what you'd written at all. This is almost like the physicist with the spherical cow. Its a simplification that removes a lot of detail (which is the point. I was going to get bogged down in the details). So if we remove privacy to prevent murder (a gross exaggeration or 10%, the point is that it accounts for all the other harms) that there is no net benefit to freedom. You've given me something to think about. Thanks!

@blenderdumbass @tama I... uh... can't tell if you're being satirical or genuine... I'd love to see your calculations... if they exist!

@tama Banning social media for the kids... ummm, ok. Affecting everyone's privacy to achieve it... ok here's the real purpose... but... banning youtube, but not snapchat? Trying hard not to fall into a conspiracy theory, but that smells a lot like trying to control the narrative. Which I agree with to a point... the bad actors on places like youtube is certainly a problem. Is banning the platform the solution though?
For me: Privacy is important. Free access to information is important. Freedom from manipulation is important. Basically in that order. The third is in conflict with the second. #privacy
