Stop saying stupid stuff like:
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."Start saying:
"A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."I'm told that an effective way to point out the fallacy is this:
"Tell us about the last time you masturbated."
And see how long it takes for the penny to drop.

"A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."Fascists love bumper-sticker slogans they can scream at people. Saves them from thinking.
"If you're not doing anything wrong..." was resounding from their bell-shaped heads after Trayvon Martin was murdered by an entire piece of shit.Most of the herd love to take fascists words and reinforce them, rather than dismantle them.
It's why 'pro-life' exists. They made it up, but everyone else uses it without thinking how destructive it is just by existing and being said. -

"A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."@Tutanota I was applying with a temp agency once and asked them if I could request a waiver of the private arbitration clause in the contract (my previous agency had a waiver process).
The agent got huffy about it, said "That language shouldn't matter unless you plan to commit a crime."
I responded, "My constitutional right to a jury trial shouldn't matter unless you plan on falsely accusing me of one." That didn't go over great.

Stop saying stupid stuff like:
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."Start saying:
"A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."Innocent is a pretty political word. Maybe a free country doesn't track people. I know it doesn't have the same flair. But innocence gets used to separate us all into piles of deserving and undeserving. I'd rather us all join together and crush the oligarchy. It has gotten entirely out of hand.

Stop saying stupid stuff like:
"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."Start saying:
"A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."@Tutanota The question "do you have anything to hide?" is the wrong one. The correct question is "is it any of their business?", and the answer usually is "fuck no".

@Npars01 Pascal Bornet is an AI pioneer and influencer, so if he is the source, I think it's a save bet to assume AI in this case.
@pkoopmanpk @Npars01 I see. But not only that, I could recognize it from the style.
And after some seconds I could verify from this

@j_lighter I try not to judge it on style. For example, @davidrevoy 's art gets called AI because of his style. AI steals art, so this style has an official artist. But I do agree that this style is used a lot in other AI slop.

"People who say that they have nothing to hide, usually do."

"A free country doesn't track innocent citizens."@Tutanota Nice words about privacy, but the actual practice tells a different story. You market yourselves as the ethical alternative to Google, criticizing how it disrespects user privacy. So how am I supposed to understand that when I use a VPN to protect my identity, you block me from creating an account? I get that this might be to prevent fraud, but the result is that you're tying my account to my real location from the very first moment.

@Tutanota The issue isn't that you're making a security tradeoff it's that you talk about privacy as if it's absolute, without being upfront about exceptions like this one. If your privacy has limits, say so honestly, instead of marketing it as if it's complete.
