It’s like this. Your front door is left open and while, magically, no one can touch or take anything in your house, strangers are allowed to enter at will and eyeball everything, see all your bills, your kids stuff, your laundry, dirty and clean, etc. How would that ever be ok? And yet we say this is ok electronically every day.
You front door is forbidden to be ever closed (if you want to have an access to the street)
“You can always choose not use the street, no one forced you to sign up for an outside account”
Reminds me of a French king who wanted to be equal: I forbid rich and poor to sleep under the bridges.
It sounds fair but strangely it isn’t. Nowadays, you can’t avoid the Street. Nowadays in westen, the first thing an beggar needs to have a hope to have a house is a phone to access some free hot spots.
Having a new account is not enough. With browser fingerprinting and IP address you can recognise most of the people.
