So, basically, you don’t care about the privacy of your digital data. That is fine, but it represents an extreme position regardless of how many people follow this path.


it’s not an extreme position. it’sa position shared by significant numbers of people worldwide, as is evident from the number of customers of these platforms you feel threatened by. it’s only considered “extreme” in the echo chamber of HN.


Sure it is from a 10 point scale.

0 - Full privacy off the grid

9 - Brain implant with all data shared to the world

8.5 - Allowing Google to have and scan for ads and government perusal all of your personal emails, written thoughts, location info, friends and accomplices, calendar, photographs, etc


I think killing animals and eating them is an extreme position too but it’s considered obnoxious to say that, so how is this any different?
