<i>Cannataci read Cerf&#x27;s full quote: &quot;Privacy may actually be an anomaly. [...]&quot;</i><p><i>&quot;I cannot understand how a person of the intelligence of Vint Cerf could say anything so dumb. It&#x27;s just dumb.&quot;</i><p>What&#x27;s happening here is not Cerf being dumb, because obviously he&#x27;s not. He&#x27;s been bought by Google a long time ago and Google has <i>destruction of privacy</i> as their business model (just like Facebook, and the rest of them).<p>Good money has allowed Vint to brainwash himself into actually thinking that destroying privacy is acceptable. He&#x27;s basically just attempting to find a way out of the inner conflict he must have, working for Google. (So yes, he&#x27;d actually benefit from seeing a shrink.)
