A world without privacy is also a world without intimacy, without individuality, without diversity, and without democracy.

Certain politicians have clearly expressed they want a world without privacy.

We cannot let them have it passively. We must fight back for our rights. Now.

Or we will lose them.

@Em0nM4stodon They only want a world without privacy for us. They’d be quite upset if we proposed the same scrutiny for them.

As shown by Bezos 30 foot hedges he pays $1000 dollars in fines each month for and the servants passages his house has.

@monkeyben @Em0nM4stodon Yeah, that’s the thing with absolute fines, past a certain point people just don’t notice them. One advantage the GDPR has, for any other faults.

@monkeyben @Em0nM4stodon I’m actually thinking maybe doubling the fine each time, for something like this (Bezos and trees he shouldn’t have). He’ll happily ignore the first $1000, even maybe the first year up to two million. Midway through the second year, when it’s up to $131 million, he might notice. End of year two, at $8 billion, I’m sure he would.

That sounds like a really good idea 🙂
