Oh I'm not sorry for their consequences. That doesn't make removing all privacy a good idea.
Though think of privacy as offering a feeling of safety. We wouldn't know they literally said they love Hitler if they wouldn't have felt safe enough to voice it. They didn't think it WOULD be leaked. They just knew their opinion was gross to the mainstream.
I'm SURE you have said many things the mainstream would call gross. Maybe not necessarily hateful and vile ontop of that, but gross and ostracizing worthy to some none the less. Would you be OK with people ostracizing you for less than what they've said?
Would you have said/done those things if you knew it could be looked up by your name?
Yeah, but most of the time those views are just that people deserve to have food and shelter and not sell themselves to corporations so they don't die. And if that's what I get cancelled for, so be it.
I've seen what the mainstream celebrates, and I'm not about it for the most part.
Never shared an offensive meme when you were younger, made an offensive joke/statement, said something negative about someone?
lol well... not exactly what I meant, but OK.
You do point at yet another problem with the idea, though: Not all "unpopular" opinions are bad opinions, and exposing everything for judgement all the time would only further promote same-think under capitalism.
