I&#x27;m glad your have been able to live a life free from problems such as stalkers, domestic abuse, or gender or sexuality issues. Other people are not as privileged.<p>It would be <i>nice</i> if we could live in an open society, but the <i>reality</i> is that discrimination and abuse still exist. Insisting that everybody forget about privacy is not only going to get some people <i>killed</i> and many others <i>fired</i>. Insisting that privacy is bad is effectively telling any minority that they have to stay &quot;in the closet&quot; if they want to keep their job and not be harassed by the bigots in society.<p>That&#x27;s just the practical issues. A stronger argument for privacy is best summed up by Jacob Appelbaum&#x27;s observation in Citizenfour:<p><pre><code>    What people used to call liberty and freedom we now call privacy.
    And we say, in the same breath, that privacy is dead.
</code></pre>
We have the <i>freedom</i> to decide what we want to disclose publicly.<p>Of course, you still believe in privacy. If you really think privacy doesn&#x27;t make any sense, post your name, address, bank account numbers, social security number, and any email addresses you&#x27;ve used. None of those items are &quot;secret&quot; information (like a password). I could list a lot more things, but you should get the idea.
