My IT teacher from high school put a major emphasis on online privacy.
He thinks the internet is a major threat to individual freedom and while it brings benefits, the negative effects are too big for him.
While I don’t agree with the last statement, I do think privacy is very much under attack nowadays and while I am not very concerned what other people and corporations know about me, I still care about privacy simply because I have the right to do so and because if I don’t pay attention, a dozen different trackers will know what I have done without me granting permission.
Corporations basically take advantage of people and give nothing in return and that is bad imo.
