Eh. Computers and Internet = No Privacy. If you don't make your life as convoluted as possible and use TOR browser / VPN for everything online, only pay with cash, don't use a bank account, health insurance etc. etc, total privacy in today's world is an illusion anyway. While I don't go about strutting all my stuff every chance I get, I see no reason to sweat over my data and privacy every time I'm online. You have to live, after all. And I don't want to live in the woods without internet, bank cards and all the other modern amenities. That's about the only way you can have absolute privacy these days.

So what if Amazon and Kobo and Google and Microsoft and the government and CIA and FSB spy on me? Yawn. They spy on billions. I'm no more interesting than any other of my fellow humans. Let them die of boredom spying on my boring life.
