I mean people who don’t care at all about their privacy or don’t think about it, but they laugh at others for trying to remain anonymous on the Internet and so on.

    You may not have anything to hide right now, but who knows what people will think in 10 years, or who will be in power, or what a hiring manager may think after looking at your socials. When you post something on the internet, it’s like you’re screaming it on your front porch through a megaphone while all your neighbors are recording.

    I used to hold the same opinion, but that changed after hearing a report that Facebook knows more about its users than their own IRL loved ones. That was sad, creepy, and dystopian at the same time. While I still don’t think my online activity would ruin my life if it got out (I don’t even use profanity) I still silo my online activity from my meatspace self as much as possible.
