Why Privacy Matters
Without privacy, you might be so afraid that you’re being judged by others that you won’t try or learn new things, even if you’re not doing anything wrong.
By exercising your right to privacy, you make it easier for others, such as activists and journalists, to do so without sticking out.
You are not and will not be judged by your own standards. Standards differ between people and organizations, and standards shift with time. Even if your behavior is deemed acceptable today, it can be held against you tomorrow.
Sharing personal data, even with a party you trust, means it is out of your control and at risk of being hacked or sold.
