You still deserve privacy, even if you:

  • don't use Linux
  • use big social media sites
  • aren't "techie"
  • are just an average computer user
Those of us in the FOSS space need to do a better job of saying that everyone deserves privacy.

I usually combat the "if you aren't doing anything wrong what's the problem" line with my bathroom analogy.

I don't need privacy in the bathroom because I'm taking secret, sinister poops. I deserve that privacy, and that's good and normal. I should be able to write a (digital) letter to my friends and family without the government or corporations reading it because I deserve that, we all do. And that's good and normal.

Also Google is locking down the android store and AAGGHHHH FUU

@mxenbionix @veronica My version of that reply is:

"OK. So, what is the URL of the live-stream webcam in your toilet?"
