based of you to bail on those shitbags, honestly :D

i hope a lot of places lose a ton of business because of Yoti specifically. I hope it hurts and I hope they know why it hurts.

I'm just old enough to get cranky about silly things that aren't important to other people I guess.

The principal of the matter is in fact quite important and not silly at all. If we don't stand up to protect our privacy in small ways, they will proceed to violate our privacy in larger and larger ways.

Yes, but we also have to function in a world that is hostile to people who value privacy.

Like at some point i want to just be able to live without defending this nebulous intangible ideal.
