False.

You have medical history

You have financial behavior

You have location patterns

You have political views

You have relationship data

Privacy was never about hiding crimes. It was always about owning your life.

But absolutely yes, this should be taught in high schools. The reason it isn't is because our school tech infrastructure in Wales UK is owned by Microsoft and Google.

Oh for sure, it was always a lie.

Not being able to rub their noses in it is the only thing I regret about not being in contact with them any more.

Just as I lament the lack of basic understanding of the humanities (history, philosophy, ethics, the arts, etc) across the general public, I often wish that the general public understood basic opsec and digital hygiene. Why is it not taught in high schools?

No separate Google searches on the issue, just one email and they targeted me accordingly. Gmail will use everything you do and write on that platform to feed their profile of you.

I'm old.

There was, and probably still is, a claim among some right-wing Americans that they have guns to protect them from the state, and that the state is continually trying to constrain their ownership of weapons.

The same people claim(-ed) to believe strongly that only those with something to hide should be frightened by intrusive law enforcement and data-gathering. Generally, what they actually meant was "The cops are on our side and we should be able to know everything about you". Especially in an LGBTQ+ context. Not illegal, but being strongly resisted by exactly these people.

I wish I'd thought to point this contradiction out to them when I knew some, in the very early days of social media.
