“Your kids will grow up in a world with no ‘off the record’,” he writes to any parents reading his post. “Teach them that the best privacy strategy is integrity, living so that being seen costs you nothing. And fight, hard, for a world where the watching goes both ways.”

    Great! Let’s put 24/7 webcams in his house, so he’ll perform spectacularly and we can get many more absolute banger ideas like this one!

    I’m just doing what the man himself says: “Fighting for a world where the watching goes both ways.” But then, I suspect that when he said that he was thinking it’s “us versus the government”, and not “regular citizens versus billionaire tech-robber-barons”.

    Why do these tech-bros always seem to act like the problem is government, and they’re somehow “fighting the good fight” no matter what they do? The problem is any powerful group with the power to steamroller others. And big business is at least as bad as big government.

      Exactly, when you have as much power as a politician or c-level executive, you should be the first one to have every waking moment streamed online for anyone to see. Your bank accounts should be 100% public, and you should have to share your ID with 10 different companies just to buy a pack of tictacs. Why? Because everything you do will impact many, many people and you have incentives to lie, cheat, and steal.

    Teach them that the best privacy strategy is integrity,

    You can have both privacy and integrity. Humanity isn’t meant to be watched every hour of every day.

    he clearly hasn’t met me, I’m very confident I can do almost anything I can put my mind to, just so long as no one is watching and I don’t benefit from it :P I turn into a royal klutz under supervision
