    Because it’s not the first 99 people that know all about you that are the problem, it’s the 1 in a 100 who are out to grief or scam or steal or coerce.

    People love to share about themselves, and that’s fine… unless there’s a malicious actor prompting them to overshare.

    People love to gossip about each other, and that’s usually tolerable… until rumor is weaponized.

      Privacy rights can be likened to a strong door keeping the wolves out.

      Another option would be to do away with the wolves.

      Which is cheaper for our society?

        The door is cheaper.

        History has shown, time and time again, that any wolf-eradication program will, almost immediately, be taken over by the wolves themselves and used for their own cruel ends.
