Sometimes it feels like we’re losing a war without even realizing it.

In the Middle Ages, cities built walls to defend themselves, to keep out those who wanted to enter and plunder. Those walls were the boundary between security and vulnerability.

Today, the boundaries have shifted into the digital space. But instead of building walls, we are the ones literally opening the doors.

We hand over the keys voluntarily, giving away all our information just to have Alexa read us the horoscope or an app to entertain the cat.

This war is no longer fought with weapons, but with data and information. And not only are we fighting it defenseless, we don’t even realize it’s happening because we still haven’t understood that privacy is our new wall.

You've perfectly hit the heart of the problem. It's a powerful and tragic metaphor. The crucial difference is that in the Middle Ages the threat was visible and tangible, while today it is invisible and often willingly ignored in exchange for immediate convenience. Awareness is the first, fundamental wall we must rebuild.
