> we're one thought away for being thrown into jail for shower thoughts that go slightly the wrong side of "publicly acceptable".

Not really. That’s like being laughed at for being naked at a nudist camp. If nobody has privacy, all of those little thoughts become public and the perception of what’s acceptable shifts

In a weird way privacy is a double edged sword and necessitates its own existence

I think, in general, we’d be a lot more sane as a society if we held back less from one another

except what we're talking about here is corporate bodies with algorhythms automating prejudice, and leveraging risk... a very different thing to sharing with one another isnt it?

[omscs99]

Well yes, I was talking about a different hypothetical :)

No, it just means that anyone can be destroyed if they offend the keeper of the data.

I can't help but assume that people like you who don't value privacy have never had someone trying to hurt you
