The U.S. accessing my personal data causes immediate harm and completely unacceptable risk.
I see comments like this all over hackernews but the truth is you actually don't care. You have a choice to not use HN/Reddit/YouTube/whatever but here you are.
Besides, I choose what information I link to this identity do I not? You're welcome to my views and their connection to each other. Doesn't mean I want you to know everything else.
It's not as personal as your diary, but it is the closest thing to it.
Don't get me wrong I would absolutely prefer a world where everyone is guaranteed privacy and governments would need a courts permission to even look up your phone number. It just will never exist and the only thing truly private is our thoughts.
There is no PII attached to my account. Even the email won't help.
Go on, find another account of mine anywhere.
You're anonymous to me. That doesn't mean you're anonymous to motivated government agencies.
