A thread for #privacy2me/@WEDF2021: "What privacy means to me and why it matters," adapted from HOW TO DESTROY SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM:

Tagging @m_older, @scalzi, and @MalJayaram in case they're game for answering (and tagging 3 others) too.

The effects of surveillance on our ability to be authentic selves are not equal for all people. Some are lucky enough to live in a time and place in which the most important facts of our lives are acceptable and can be publicly disclosed without the risk of social consequence

2/

But for many of us, this is not true. Recall that in living memory, many of the ways of being that we think of as socially acceptable today were once cause for dire social sanction or even imprisonment.

A couple days back, I wrote up my best understanding of what happened with /r/wallstreetbets and meme stocks like Gamestop, trying to show how all the different, seemingly contradictory takes on the underlying financial stuff could all be true.

1/

In the days since, a new series of contradictory takes has emerged, these ones disputing the meaning of this bizarre financial spectacle, and likewise what response, if any is warranted as it unfurls.

2/

I think that all of these takes can also be true, and as with the trading itself, reconciling them requires that we widen the frame.

Let's start with Jimmy Carter.
