Anonymity is not really a thing. Whatever nym you use still needs to accrue reputation, which means you’ll have an identity. But should that identity have a social security number and other overshared information? I don’t think so. Privacy enables us to break our personal data “blockchains” into pieces we own.

I appreciate this take and agree. We should be able to have control over our level of exposure. What I take issue with is the idea that privacy is costless.

Yes, it’s not costless. Your personal data has value. Corporations sell it, and you can benefit from oversharing, too.

I think we orient to Sowell’s concept of no solutions only tradeoffs, we can resolve a lot of these privacy disagreements.
