Yeah, that's how you make friends. Certainly not into government spying but this is a ridiculous comparison.
Reminds me of those piracy ads that try to convince you not to download music by saying "you wouldn't download a car". It's like pretty different and of course I'd love to download a car.
I'm down for the cause but I don't think talking to people like they're idiots is a good way to rally support.
I disagree. The wording might not be perfect, but the comparison is sound imho.
Potential friends aren't typically total strangers. You are usually at least considered aquaintances at first. And potential friends don't typically go "looking around" your home on the first visit, either. They're usually quite respectful of your privacy from what I have gathered over the years.
They don't just get up and search for a bathroom, they'll ask you where it is.
Really? I always know someone a fair bit before they're welcome in my home. I'd invite some of my co-workers here, people I go to clubs with and the like. There are some local community projects that are effectively run from my home, since that's where we have all our meetings. But even then, the idea of picking a random stranger off the street is a bit... no.
It's absolutely the exact same thing, and you are incorrect, sir/ma'am.
