Why we should care about privacy on the internet? - eviltoast

Why? Generally speaking, are the chances that online services report users to authorities for posting illegal content relatively high?

    My human,

    Why should those through whom we speak or communicate also the managers and enforcers of said speech?

    As we’ve seen with Reddit and others, your content and history are already cataloged. Are you sure the thing you say today won’t be used against you tomorrow?

    There are already mechanisms to deal with illegal activity online.

    Privacy to live one’s life and express one’s opinions without fear of retaliation, reprisal, or identification is one of, if not the most important things we have as individual citizens. Do not ever, ever, ever give it up without a fight.
