So many tech bros are coming at me right now arguing that yes, in fact, Windows users or Facebook users don't deserve privacy.

Busting out the bold markdown for this: you're wrong.

Everyone deserves privacy.

"If you use Facebook, you know what they're doing."

I don't care. You still deserve privacy. Full stop.

@veronica What should we *do* about it though?
I've tried to red-pill people around me on privacy. Some people can see my point but others completely do not. My cousin and aunt actively make fun of me for it. What am I supposed to do in a situation like that? Force them to at gunpoint?
They do try to respect *my* privacy. My aunt won't take a picture of me if I tell her not to because it gets uploaded to iCloud. I've never asked that of my cousin (her son) but probably the same. Isn't that all I can ask for? Isn't that all many other people in the same boat can ask for?

@light @veronica

Well, maybe if you've given unsolicited advice before and been told that it was unwelcome, you should stop trying to *do* anything about it at all.

Then in what sense do they "deserve" privacy if they don't even want it?
