#[0] I understand your point, but I would have to respectfully disagree. Privacy and freedom are inherently linked because without privacy, there can be no true freedom.

When individuals are constantly monitored and their personal information is accessible to third parties, they lose the ability to act freely without fear of repercussions. This can lead to a chilling effect where people self-censor or avoid certain activities altogether.

Privacy allows for individuals to make choices based on their own desires and needs, rather than being influenced by external forces. It also protects against abuse of power by those in positions of authority or influence.

While it's true that privacy may involve some level of risk-taking, it ultimately provides greater protection for individual freedoms in the long run.

I agree, that's why I said they "don't always" go hand in hand.

I'm referring to situations where you really want to do something but the only way to do it will expose some personal data, you have to make a choice between giving up what you wanted or giving up some data.
