this why i don't talk to people 😹

People often dismiss privacy because they think their lives are too ordinary to matter. Convenience becomes the default, and convenience is always engineered. Many say, “I have nothing to hide,” assuming that makes the trade-off harmless. But the harm isn’t immediate: it’s downstream. When all that data accumulates in the hands of a few, control follows. Privacy isn’t about secrecy; it’s about sovereignty. It’s the decision not to outsource your autonomy just because the alternative feels easier in the moment.
