Re: Trade-offs Matrix: Solid Term Definition Strategies

I didn't mean that I have nothing to hide - I mean that theoretically there is nothing nobody can hide - that's the nature of the internet that needs to rely on a whole bunch of infrastructure providers.

Information privacy is different from the statement made by Melvin about dereferencing and exposing information by going across a network.

Regards,

    I assume we can agree that "privacy" here means personal control over
    the knowledge.
    
    I agree that the knowledge about which geoposition to nuke if they want
    to erradicate me is not in my control (given a large enough nuke).
    Similar to how obfuscating email addresses to avoid spam is futile: you
    *want* your email address and your IP address to be identifiable for
    many types of communication to function properly.
    
    I disagree, however, that there is zero privacy in an IP address.
    
    E.g. knowledge about *when* to nuke the geoposition identified as "me"
    is still somewhat in my control: It involves me revealing through
    making reasonably personalized activity originating from said IP number.
    
    Do I fear someone nuking me? Not really. But I do care about privacy.
    
    Happy for you that you have "nothing to hide", Joshua - but please do
    respect that some of us still have interest in knowledge agency.
    
     - Jonas
