Posted to ‘privacy’ community: “Put your first and last name on this petition!”

I expect if there are too many fake names it would be used against them too. I think not signing at all is overall less detrimental my own privacy. However if there’s evidence/reasoning otherwise please share!

Edit: I ended up signing with my real name, I don’t see employers or anyone holding that petition against me if they find out I signed this by searching my name.

Privacy is not anonymity.

Privacy is not anonymity in the same way as animals are not dogs. To give away anonymity is to give away a form of privacy.
