Beyond the fact that this isn't true, it's even less credible coming from a new, anonymous account. If privacy is really so dangerous and has no value, you should have no issue making comments like these under a publicly identifiable account.

Every account is new at some point.

I noticed you skipped over every other part of my comment to focus on an irrelevant one. Is that an admission that you don't actually stand by what you say?

"This isn't true" - not an argument

"Privacy is dangerous" - i never said that.

Internet pseudonymity from other strangers on a public forum is very different from being anti-surveillance. I am not sure how you could equate the two.

I would have absolutely no problem if the state contacted HN to obtain my IP access logs and other identifying information if I were to post something illegal here. Expecting privacy from random internet users is not the same thing as demanding immunity from law enforcement.
