I concur that privacy is a misunderstood subject.

I think governments should respect the privacy of their citizens, and government actors should be constrained by laws that enforce this.

I'm 100% on board with Edward Snowden's views on this.

And if you are at odds with current (or expected future) governmental policies, I encourage you to use privacy to your advantage.

If you are using privacy to skirt responsibility for crimes, then I'm not in favor of such a use of privacy. But given the nature of privacy, there is no way to distinguish. We would have to break your privacy to find out that you were being a criminal and using privacy to hide it. I think that law enforcement needs to rise above this and be able to stop crime without violating people's privacy.

YET I don't care if nostr relays know the IP address of my home computer. I am not going to use TOR for everything and bend over backwards to hide. I am not going to remove the wires from the microphone and speaker of my mobile phone. YOU CAN, and I support you if you need it, but I won't be doing it. I'm not making some kind of better-than-thou statement, that you should be like me and not care about privacy. I'm just stating that I don't, not that my position is more moral or any bullshit like that. My point is that I put effort into making gossip private FOR YOU, and it bugs me when people don't appreciate it and make me feel bad.
