MODERATORS
Privacy means personal agency and freedom from people, whether individuals, companies, or the government, controlling you with direct or implied threats, or more subtle manipulation, which they can do because they have your dox and because information is power.
A lack of privacy adds fuel to the polycrisis because if we can't act in relative secrecy that basically means we can't act freely at all, and nothing can challenge whoever runs the panopticon.
