"That a movement to restore privacy must be, at some level, a movement against
the internet. Not a pure Luddism, but a movement for limits, for internet-free
spaces, for zones of enforced pre-virtual reality (childhood and education
above all), for social conventions that discourage career-destroying tweets and
crotch shots by encouraging us to put away our iPhones."
Well, let's not overstate things. People should know enough to refrain from
participating in sites expressly designed to propagate one's rants and raves to
the world, obviously, or even to a gymongous number of one's supposed
"friends." That's just common sense. It doesn't mean less Internet. It means
smarter use of the Internet.
It would be much more foreboding if there were evidence of one's e-mail
becoming disseminated freely, by ISPs. E-mail does come with a presumption of
privacy, same as snail mail. Although if that did begin to happen, one could
resort to end-to-end-encryption.
It's all a matter of self-control. Just as it was in the MVPD era, causing
prices to go higher and higher. Complete lack of self-control comes at a price,
to that person.
