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

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.
