It always has been, but technology exploded a lot and today we do have the ability to record, to scan and to process everything. I think, although we were already listened, recorded and analyzed, we could hide in the shadow because there is « too much ». We could extract ourselves from listening to big companies that feed on our information.
How long could we still?
Europe wants to make every chat scanned. It would be official. The permission to read every conversation you have, everything you do, everything you …think? Freedom is threatened. We cannot make a free and democratic world without privacy. We cannot. Remember your stories classroom. How the opinions and information were controlled? Find out how people censor themselves when they feel spied on?
People of the past century who wanted to control the world would never have imagined having had a control system also perfecting. Privacy matters.
Your privacy matters. Please, do not consider that you have nothing to hide. You need your private life and I hope there is no need to lose it for you to realize it. Find out, share, talk about it.
