No, I get your point. In real life I'm more adamant about advocating our right to privacy when the subject comes up, only, here, we're all techies. But I should be more careful not to gaslight myself into thinking this is normal when it shouldn't be.
Now that I think about it, in the past, I sort of remember getting annoyed at some people who similarly dismissed a privacy concern with 'witty' responses on Twitter. It pained me because, from their profiles, I could clearly see they were slaves to all the big privacy-intruding social networks, and it pained me to see that people truly didn't care in the least about their right to privacy.
Hey, I totally get it. Sorry to come down on you so hard specifically, but your comment just happened to be the top one in the thread.
A lot of this sort of attitude reminds me of when the Snowden revelations were brought to the surface, and a bunch of people's response was either: "duh, obviously" or "what do I care? I have nothing to hide."
