Fuck.

It’s like these guys read Popper and completely got it backwards. The free and open exchange of information is the best good for a society.

A large part of that free and open exchange of information is the freedom. The freedom to keep information private. The freedom to have secrets. There are no rules that can be made that address every situation. All information should not be free, all information should not be hidden. It is always a case-to-case basis.

Privacy. It’s a right. It’s an important right.
