I appreciate the term "ambient privacy," which I hadn't heard described that way before. The environmental metaphor makes a lot of sense as well.

I'm curious what others on HN make of this, but for me it was an interesting and very well articulated stance on privacy that helped focus and clarify some of the things I've been thinking about lately.

Thank you for writing this, Maciej!

Thank you for your kind comments! I'm not sure "ambient privacy" is the best coinage, but I wanted to put a word to something I think it's important to defend.
