I know, it’s just a “Someone Is Wrong On The Internet” piece, but that NYTimes piece about Why Signal Is Bad And Privacy Is Bad needs to be refuted in a compact explainer, so here’s mine: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2022/12/29/Privacy-is-OK

I live in a country where when some policy was being reversed that hurt the people the original policy was intended to help, the Prime Minister was quoted as saying, off camera, "We'll write an Op-Ed."

The article you criticize justifiably, is a lobbyist's or representative's op-ed about something about to be attacked.

Lets fight it, refutations should include warnings about the actions implied by the excuse. [ The article is an excuse for a planned for action ]
