Not everyone wanting privacy is a terrorist. Sometimes they are just very private people.
The dead comment shouldn't be dead, as it represents what we're up against in society. It's relevant.
But it should indeed have this kind of response.
Wanting privacy is not a crime.
And perhaps everyone shouldn't have to live under the watch of a panopticon
Pardon my cynicism here, but: panopticon proponents seem to have all the power. There's little you can do to protest it. There's no anti-panopticon party to vote for, and organizing any kind of counter-action will just get you labeled a terrorist if at any point you become effective, I'd guess.
I love to support products that respect my privacy, but it sort of feels like wasting money for lip service.
