Billionaires are not a protected class subject to undue discrimination.

>How do you tell me you have no empathy for people higher up the status latter than you without telling me you have no empathy for people higher up the status ladder than you?

Why should I have empathy for those who exploit me for their own personal gain?

You don't need to empathize. You simply need to respect privacy. People have lost privacy, and that's an issue to address directly rather than take privacy away from others.
Right, but the biggest advocates for the destruction of privacy are the ones who just received legal protection for their private jets. They're getting protection for what they got rich destroying for the rest of us.

I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand.

Zuckerberg and his ilk got rich destroying my privacy, but somehow it's unseemly for me to not respect their privacy? Privacy for me but not for thee?

I don't fucking think so.

Everyone's foaming at the mouth so hard to eat the rich that they don't mind eating themselves to get there.

...which is exactly how all of their revolutions have gone in practice...

Jealousy is a powerful intoxicant.
