- Research from the World Economic Forum shows it’s becoming easier for citizens to be monitored, allowing governments, technology companies and threat actors to “reach deeper into people’s lives”.
- In response, people are “waking up” to privacy, according to Meredith Whittaker, president of secure messaging service Signal.
- Here, she explores the drivers behind this shift and how it could impact the digital landscape.
OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:
To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.
However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷
…and for that you get down voted.
I think you expressed that well. If you can’t own your thoughts, you can’t own anything.
