Centralization is efficiently private in the sense that majority of proprietary metadata / information asymmetry is silo’d while decentralization is inefficiently private in the sense that Sybil’s exist without barrier to entry

Information is a durable good. Therefore, privacy is an impotent lifestyle without proper threat modeling (one step forward, five steps back) —a cat and mouse game… not a final achievement. Doing less electronically is counterintuitively more private than trying new “privacy” apps, adding even more dependencies in the OSI labyrinth.

We fail when privacy tools like tor are perceived as a panacea versus intellectual curiosity of the tor circuit itself.
