Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

So a conservative blog outs him, even though he asked them to please respect his private life.
The church he cares enough about to deliver sermons at sees fit to release a public statement about it - amplifying the reach of the blog and drawing attention to it in the local community.
And then the local cops just happen to pull him over while he’s driving for a ‘wellness check’?
I’ve never, in my life, heard of a traffic stop wellness check. We know what they were doing. We know what that church was doing. And we know what that blog was doing.
What a tragedy. I hope everyone involved knows the stain they bear.
