But what about our responsibility to protect the data of others?

If you care about privacy rights, you must also care for the data of the people around you.

To make privacy work, we need to develop a culture that normalizes caring for everyone's data, not just our own.

I'm not targeting that at you, but I'm shocked that people wouldn't.

(Not really. I'm sadly not surprised.)

That's why we need to normalize using , and .

  • Because oneself may not be in the crosshairs (yet),
    • But that's not a guarantee nor rule of nature!

It's an act of to push for !

  • Only fascists push the "Nothing to Hide!" - fallacy.
    • Espechally when the same folks refuse to be transparent themselves…

There goes the privacy of my phone number!

Very true. A prominent example: WhatsApp's tapping of entries in the phone book. None of the users ever asked me for permission. I don't want this and I don't use it myself, but nevertheless, Meta seems to know my contact details and they're updated with every new registration. That's beyond annoying!

Giving your DNA sequence to a company means giving chunks of all your family's too.
How many people got everyone's consent for that..?

Half of the ideas about cool tech stuff that I've had in my head, I have not executed EXACTLY because of this, and it's pleasing to see that it is being actively talked about more! πŸ™‚

@pitha is one of the projects that I am finding immense satisfaction in working with, since I am protecting not only mine, but everyone else's privacy too
