@prologic Thanks. Really nice of you. I also try to get as many people on it to sign it. But most of my family and friends do not understand what this means for them in the future. They are long time friends and family, but most of them are still on the "I have nothing to hide" train.

@carsten You and I must have the same friends 😅 This is a great article, You May Have 'Nothing to Hide' But You Still Have Something to Fear.

@ullarah Oh that is an old article but a good read. Yes I might, should translate it into German and then send it to my friends including the link to sign the petition. That's actually a good idea…

@carsten @ullarah This has nothing to do with anything to hide.

Let me help you both out here...

This comes down to something quite profoundly simple.

CHOICE

These assholes pushing for these stupid ass fucking lawas are removing out CHOICE.

What does this mean? It mean if we don't put a stop to this before it's too late, YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, will never ever ever have a choice in anything you do, share or wish to keep "PRIVATE".

Our choices are being stripped away. And we are allowing it 😢

@prologic problem as i see it, the we that are allowing it is a small group of people who are able to make positive change happen. most netizens could care less as long as they don't lose their smartphone, social, etc.

it's a three-tiered system from my review:
- tier0: those of us who want opt-in and have the ability to navigate around systems and build our own
- tier1: the people of r/privacy who live in some sort of warped spy-novel and throw the kitchen sink at privacy making an utter mess
- tier2: the rest of the world. maybe they're keen on privacy and opting in or out, but they will not let loose of the platforms and other things that feed their stimulation habit

this is why i feel so strongly about creating your own slice of the net. it may not be massive like centralised platforms, but you can do what you please for the most part.

and for the record. i have plenty to hide. my cookie recipes if found would start a revolution :-)

quoting a random guy "You don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the toilet, or wear clothes. Privacy isn't about having something to hide, it's not about keeping secrets. It's about being able to choose what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being. Privacy is the agency you have over your dignity."

@tkanos Rightly said by the random guy!
