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.
