  • Well, maybe they actually do have nothing to hide? I’ve recently realised that people who are dependent on Big Tech just don’t value their privacy the same way babies don’t care about being naked in front of other people. If you hand over the responsibility for your life to somebody else, you kind of hand over yourself, too, and there’s no point in seeking privacy anymore. So the actual issue is people’s passiveness and lack of agency in their interaction with tech. If they embrace FOSS, that is being a creator and not just a consumer in the world of software, they’ll start valuing their privacy, just like a teenager learning to be independent simultaneously develops the need for having their own boundaries.
