Privacy isn't about concealing wrongdoing, but about maintaining autonomy and personal freedom in a world where norms and laws can change.


Trivial meddlesome scamps, under guise of anonymity will sell you and yours out on the slightest whim. Reveal nothing of your private intent or those adept in chicanery will filch your best intentions to devour and defecate for the glutenous appetite of having something more.

An invasive government is not the the ultimate threat to our well being, beware of scampuous Man.


This is just typical FUD. There is no general and hypothetical parent that could shield you here.

Government is historically the largest threat to any population.


Governments exist to keep other tribes from wiping yours out.

Without government your neighbors would loot you.

Sadly I'm not "pro government", I know what my fellow man is capable of.
