Do you use HTTPS? SSH? A password manager? Everyone has something to hide -- it is a matter of how much and from who(m). In our world of Big Data/surveillance

Do you use HTTPS? SSH? A password manager?
Everyone has something to hide -- it is a matter of how much and from who(m). In our world of Big Data/surveillance capitalism, I don't see how you could even argue against stronger privacy rights...
- missedthecue 5y agoI have SSH on my servers for the same reason I have locks on my house. Not because I have stuff to hide, but because having stuff stolen costs me money, and SSH and locks are an inexpensive way of preventing stuff of mine from being stolen
- lokalfarm 5y agoSounds an awful lot like privacy: 1. the state of being apart from other people or concealed from their view; solitude; seclusion 2. the state of being free from unwanted or undue intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs; freedom to be let alone I don't draw a distinction between "your house" and "your data." Whatever your rational for having those barriers - that's your decision, right? Just because other people enjoy living on communes doesn't make it any less absurd for a country to outlaw locks on doors (or e2e chat apps...). Taken even further, people tend to do horrific things (sexual &/or domestic abuse) behind locked doors. But plenty of other people, like you & me, tend to sleep better behind them.
