 > Privacy is an absolute human right
If human rights existed you wouldn't have to fight, bleed and sometimes die for them.  We are in a tiny window of human civilisational history when serfdom wasn't the norm for 99.99% of us. 
 You would think God-given rights wouldn't be trampled on by anyone, but history has shown that anyone not actively defending their way of life will inevitably have intruded on; whether the trample be covert or overt, it will happen one way or another.

We just live in a world where people are all too willing to either throw them away willingly, or let someone else do it for them if a relatable explanation prior is provided. Shit's fucked.
